In January 2022, the threshold beyond which any tender for goods/services must be published in  the Official Journal of the EU was revised to €140,000 (ex VAT).

Accordingly, requests for tenders in respect of  National Equine Breeding Services and the Marketing Services for the Sport Horse Sector in Ireland  were published in the Official Journal of the EU,  as follows:

RFT  206629 - National Equine Breeding Services

A Contract Notice (OJEU Notice number 2022/S 025-062734) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in respect of this tender competition as the estimated value was in excess of the threshold applicable at the time of publication.

RFT  207932 - Marketing Services for the Sport Horse Sector in Ireland

A Contract Notice (OJEU Notice number 2022/S 035-089112) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in respect of this tender competition as the estimated value was in excess of the threshold applicable at the time of publication.

Finally, no Contract Notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in respect of the Studbooks Tender competition, as the estimated value was below the threshold applicable at the time of publication.
