Under the 2011 Act, relevant authorities, defined as including a county council, a district council or a London borough council, are required to consider an expression of interest submitted by a relevant body in relation to providing, or assisting in providing, a service provided by or on behalf of a local authority.\nArticle 2 defines Business Improvement District bodies for the purposes of these Regulations. Under Article 2, this is the body, or bodies, responsible for implementing “BID arrangements”; however, the definition does not include a “local authority BID body” or bodies which are part of a joint arrangement with other bodies responsible for implementing BID arrangements where one of the bodies in the joint arrangement is a local authority BID body.\nArticle 2 defines “BID arrangements” and “local authority BID body” for the purposes of these Regulations.",
