  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Local Government (Direct Labour Organisations) (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 in their application to highway work.\nThe 1984 Regulations prescribe £50,000 as the maximum value of a contract for highway works which a local authority may enter into without prior competitive tendering. 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 in respect of works contracts for general highway works entered into on or after 30th June 1988 and in respect of functional work undertaken after 30th June 1988.",
