SYSTEMATIC COMPILATION OF NOTIFICATIONS UNDER THE 
AGREEMENT  ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT  
STATE -OF-PLAY AS OF 7 DECEMBER  2022 
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 ye ar 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 expressed 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 regulations (GPA 2012 - 
Art. XXII:5). Unde r 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 t he 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 procurement 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 
national legislation and institutional arrangements.  
6 Parties are under an ongoing non -periodic obliga tion 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 fle xibility 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 19 94 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 proc urement 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 A ppendix 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 and GPA/S/3/Rev.3

  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 ).
 
statistics, a consensus emerged in the CGP that those Parties for whom the GPA 2012 had come into effect need 
not make parallel notificatio ns 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 modifications 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.3
