Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Local Government Act 1988 (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1997 (“the principal Regulations”) make provision as to the introduction in Scotland of compulsory competitive tendering (“CCT”) in respect of functional work falling within certain activities which are defined activities for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1988. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations mainly so as to delay the introduction of CCT for 6 months for professional services and for 12 months for housing management and vehicle management. In addition, regulation 5 of the principal Regulations (which provides for the introduction of CCT as regards functional work falling within security work) is revoked.
