(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Local Government (Direct Labour Organisations) (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 in their application to highway work.
The 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.
These 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.
