Public authorities will be able to directly purchase essential utility services if the estimated value is below 400,000 lei, according to a new legislative proposal. This change raises the previous threshold of 270,120 lei for goods and services and 900,400 lei for works. The urgency of this measure is justified by the need for uninterrupted utility supply, especially with rising costs and the upcoming winter season. Initiators emphasize that timely access to these resources is crucial for the normal operation of institutions like hospitals and schools. Delays in procurement could hinder service continuity, particularly as prices increase.
