lower value-limit EU: low-value contract
Minor contract - begs the question what a major contract is: possibly not one for minnows.
Example sentence:
'Low-value contracts' procedures Ex-ante publicity of middle and low-value contracts. Simplified rules apply to calls for tenders valued between €15,000 and €144,000.

: How does it beg the question if. as Asker says, there is an upper value limit? So why not agree to "minor contract"?

'Upper value limit' had been buried in the discussion entries as an afterthought, besides which minor contract - a non-term of art - is ambiguous for a trivial or unimportant contract, as opposed to a major public etc. contract.

Thanks, Robert. I'm glad someone else had spotted the - brainless- ambiguity.
