# The Local Government (Direct Labour Organisations) (Competition) (Amendment) Regulations 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Government (Direct Labour Organisations) (Competition) Regulations 1983 in their application to highway work.
The 1983 Regulations apply competitive tendering requirements to certain highway works contracts and highway functional work worth £25,000 or less if the value of the contract or work and the value of all similar work worth £25,000 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.
These Regulations vary the prescribed percentage from 70% to 40%.
