These Regulations make provision under Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 (“the Act”) in respect of the activity of managing sports and leisure facilities by specified authorities (defined in regulation 1(2)) in England.

Regulation 2 applies section 6 of the Act to this activity, to the extent and from the dates specified in that regulation, so that specified authorities are required to compete for such work if they wish to carry it out themselves. Transitional provision is made in respect of 1992.

Regulation 3 specifies the minimum and maximum periods for which specified authorities may invite offers to carry out such work.
