They also apply tendering requirements to highway functional work worth more than £50,000 and to certain highway works contracts and highway functional work worth £50,000 or less if the value of the contract or work and the value of all similar work worth £50,000 or less previously contracted for or done by the authority in the current financial year exceeds a prescribed percentage of the total value of similar work contracted for or done in the previous year.\nThese Regulations substitute £25,000 for £50,000.\nRegulations 6 and 8 of the 1983 Regulations are rewritten.
