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%.
