Gite scolastiche e viaggi studio, l’Autorità anticorruzione semplifica le regole per i micro-affidamenti

🎮 Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) confirms simplified rules for micro-procurement, exempting purchases up to €5,000 from the obligation to buy through MePA (Electronic Market of Public Administration) until June 30, 2025. The decision aids the amusement park industry, especially smaller parks, ahead of the 2025 season. Annual figures show approximately 600,000 entries from educational trips and summer camps, contributing €15 million to the sector, with additional economic effects on transport, dining, and sometimes accommodation. From 2023, MePA platform usage was mandated for school trips, complicating processes for small purchases, but the recent alleviation will reduce bureaucratic burdens.
