Regulation 22 Termination of contracts
A relevant authority must ensure that every contract it awards contains provisions enabling the relevant authority to terminate the contract where—
the contract has been subject to a modification which cannot be made under regulation 13 without following a new procurement process;
the provider, at the time of the contract award, should have been excluded from the procurement process in accordance with regulation 20(1).
The provisions referred to in paragraph (1) may address the basis on which the power is to be exercisable in those circumstances, for example by providing for notice of termination to be given and by addressing consequential matters that may arise from the termination.
To the extent that a contract awarded under these Regulations does not contain provisions enabling the relevant authority to terminate the contract on any of the grounds mentioned in paragraph (1), a power for the relevant authority to do so on giving reasonable notice to the provider is an implied term of that contract.
