Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations bring section 117 and provisions in Schedule 10 to the Procurement Act 2023 (“the Act”) into force in part on 19th January 2024 and in part on 1st April 2024.

Section 117 of, and Schedule 10 to, the Act amend Part 2 of the Defence Reform Act 2014 which regulates single source contracts (contracts for goods, works or services for defence purposes awarded other than through competition).

Regulation 3 provides for the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/3337) to remain in force as they were immediately before the coming into force of amendments to the provisions under which they were made and notwithstanding those amendments, until they are amended or revoked.

These are the first commencement regulations made under the Act.
