On 5 February the Government introduced new
Public Contracts Regulations
which are effective from 26 February 2015 for all new procurements
(those
which have not commenced before 26 February) that either include a
prequalification
stage and / or are over the relevant EU procurement monetary
thresholds. The new Regulations prevail over current CPRs where
there is any
inconsistency. The Commercial team within the Unit are working to
update the
detail of CPRs to accommodate all the changes, but given the
extremely short
notice for implementation of the new Regulations these will need a
longer
period to finafise and enable consultation as appropriate. The
Chief Officer
Public Private Partnerships and Procurement has been asked to
approve the
contents of and publication of an addendum provided with this
notification which
summarises the key changes and the CPRs affected. Current CPRs will
be
amended to incude a note referring users to the Addendum.
The Chief Officer PPPU and PU hereby approves the contents and
publication
of the addendum to the Council's Contracts Procedure Rules (Version
2014115
09 June 2014).
