SYSTEMATIC COMPILATION OF NOTIFICATIONS UNDER THE 
AGREEMENT  ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT  
STATE -OF-PLAY AS OF 5 DECEMBER  2023 
NOTE BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
Revision  
This note systematically compiles documents2 relating to notifications under 
the Agreement  on Government Procurement (GPA), including with respect to (i) statistical 
reporting3; (ii) thresholds applicable under the Agreement4; (iii) national implementing legislation5; 
(iv) modifications and rectifications to coverage (Appendix  I)6; and (v)  modifications of the 
information on the  procurement systems listed in Appendix II, III, or IV7 to the GPA.8 
 
1 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice 
to the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO.  
2 Please note that some documents relating to rectifications or modifications  to Appendices I to IV to the 
GPA 2012 are temporarily restricted (i.e. those circulated in the GPA/MOD/* series). They are automatically 
derestricted upon certification of such changes in the Appendices (see paragraph 2(d) of the Decision of the 
Committee  on Government Procurement (CGP) of 8 October 2002 on the Procedures for the Circulation and 
Derestriction of Documents of the CGP (GPA/72  (23/10 /2002) ). 
3 Each Party has an obligation to collect and report to the CGP statistics  on its contracts covered by the 
GPA 2012. Each report must cover one year and be submitted within two years of the end of the reporting 
period (GPA 2012 - Art. XVI:4). See also Article  XIX:5 of the GPA 1994  and the CGP Decision on a Uniform 
Classification Systems for Statistical Reporting ( GPA/4 (10/07/1996) and GPA/W/17  (15/05/1996) ). 
4 In accordance with the CGP Decision on Modalities for Notifying Threshold  Figures in National 
Currencies, each Party is required to notify the value of the thresholds contained in its coverage schedule 
(Appendix I) and specified in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) into its own national currency (GPA/1 , Annex  3 
(05/03/1996)). The thresholds exp ressed in national currencies are fixed for a period two years.  
5 Each Party is under an ongoing non -periodic obligation to inform the CGP of any changes to its laws 
and regulations  relevant the GPA 2012 and in the administration of such laws and regulatio ns (GPA 2012 - Art. 
XXII:5). Under certain conditions and in cases of non -substantive changes, the CGP Decision on "Notification 
Requirements under Articles XIX and XXII of the Agreement" provides flexibility to submit notifications on an 
annual basis ( GPA/113  – Annex A to Appendix 2 (02/04/2012) ). See also Article  XXIV:5(b) of the GPA 1994.  
In addition, a 1996 CGP Decision ( GPA/1/Add.1  (27/06/1996) ) requires that each Party to the 
Agreement submit the complete texts of their basic legislation on government procureme nt in the original 
language and a summary of this legislation and other relevant legislation in one of the official WTO languages 
to the WTO Secretariat. In addition, Parties are required to provide responses to the checklist of issues 
regarding their nati onal legislation and institutional arrangements.  
6 Parties are under an ongoing non -periodic obligation to notify the CGP of any proposed modification 
and rectification to coverage ( Appendix I ) (Art. XIX:1 of the GPA 2012). Under certain conditions, the CGP 
Decision on "Notification Requirements under Articles XIX and XXII of the Agreement" provides flexibility to 
submit notifications every two years ( GPA/113  – Annex A to Appendix 2 (02/04/2012) ). 
Parties affected by a proposed modification may notify the Committee of any objection to the proposed 
modification. A modifying or any objecting party may institute arbitration procedures to facilitate resolution of 
objections by submitting a notification to that effect (Article XIX of the GPA 2012 and the Committee's Decision 
on Arbitration Procedures ( GPA/139  (23/06/2016)).  
See also the Interim CGP Decisions related to modifications and rectifications to the Appendices to the 
GPA 1994 before its entry into force (Decision of 17/01/1994 - GPA/IC/3  (28/10/1994) and GPA/IC/2  – 
Annex  1 - (04/08/1994) ; GPA/IC/W/3  (04/08/1994); and Decision of 29/06/1994 - GPA/IC/M/1  – Annex  2 
(10/08/1994)).  
7 The GPA 2012 requires that Parties provide information on the media they use for the publication of 
procurement -related information, such as government procurement legislation, procurement notices, etc. The 
information is contained in various Appendices of the Agreement. Each party is under an ongoing non -periodic 
obligation to  promptly notify the CGP of any modification to the Party's information listed in Appendix II , III or 
IV to the GPA 2012 (Art. VI:3 of the GPA 2012).  
8 Notification procedures during the period of co -existence of the GPA 1994 and GPA 2012  (i.e. 
from 06/04/ 2014 to 31/12/2020): With respect to notifications concerning national implementing legislation GPA/S/3/Rev. 4

  Additional  information on notification obligations under the GPA 2012 ca n be found in  the WTO 
Notifications Portal  and the  Technical Cooperation Handbook on Notification Requirements . 
This document will be updated periodically to reflect the latest developments.  
Any questions, comments or corrections of oversights regarding the foregoing may be addressed to 
the Secretariat ( reto.malacrida@wto.org ; philippe.pelletier@wto.org  and/or gpa@wto.org ).
 
and statistics, a consensus emerged in the CGP that those Parties for whom the GPA 2012 had come into effect 
need not make parallel notifications under the GPA 1994. A similar practice had been implemented for the 
notifications of thresholds in national currencies, except where different threshold values applied under the 
GPA 1994 and the GPA 2012. The above understanding also did not apply with respect to modifi cations to 
coverage (Appendix I) and of information on the procurement system listed in Appendix II, III, and IV, which 
remain subject to notification requirements under both the GPA 1994 and the GPA 2012. See para. 5.2 of 
GPA/134  (16/11/2015).  GPA/S/3/Rev. 4
