(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations specify new minimum and maximum periods for which authorities may invite offers to carry out work in respect of some of those activities which must be open to competition under Part I of the Local Government Act 1988.
The Regulations make different provision in respect of work all or the majority of which is undertaken at or connected with educational establishments, and work which is not undertaken at those establishments or does not substantially involve such work.
