2026 thresholds: what happens above and below
Since 1 January 2026 the EU thresholds are €5,404,000 for works and €216,000 for supplies and services (net). Above them, TED publication is mandatory; below them, national law decides where a notice appears — and those procedures are just as open to foreign bidders. In Czechia, 0% of open procedures are currently below the threshold.

Legal basis and sources
The statements on this page rest on the wording of EU procurement law and on our own count, recomputed daily. Both can be checked:
„Contracting authorities shall treat economic operators equally and without discrimination and shall act in a transparent and proportionate manner."— Article 18(1) of Directive 2014/24/EU, official version
Under Article 19(1), an economic operator entitled under the law of its home Member State to provide the service may not be rejected solely because, under the law of the awarding Member State, it would have to be a particular kind of legal person.
