3. Statutory State of the Municipality Report (Art. 28aa) & Sub-Threshold Procurement

Statutory State of the Municipality Report (due 31 May) + sub-threshold procurement: This table benchmarks Wrocław against 886 European cities using official public statistics and serves as a ready-to-use European Peer Benchmark Annex for the annual Art. 28aa Report to the City Council. CittopIA subscriptions sit well below Poland's statutory PZP threshold (170,000 PLN net effective 1 Jan 2026), and municipalities joining an EU grant consortium with CittopIA use the workspace free during the pilot phase.
