(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Local Government (Direct Labour Organisations) (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”) in their application to highway work.

Regulations 6 and 8 of the principal Regulations apply to general highway works carried out in a financial year, either under a works contract or as functional work, and worth £25,000 or less, but only if the value of that contract or functional work and of all similar work worth £25,000 or less previously contracted for or carried out by the authority in the same financial year exceeds a specified percentage of the total value of such work contracted for or carried out in the preceding financial year.

These Regulations reduce the specified percentage from 70% to 40%.
