This leading reference work provides a comprehensive account of the rules governing procurement by public authorities and utilities in the UK, including those operating in the defence sector. It also covers the rules on lower value procurement and related topics. The broader UK context for public procurement is addressed in chapters covering topics such as public-private partnerships and social and environmental considerations, and international agreements (including the WTO Government Procurement Agreement) are explained.
The work comprises a regularly-updated commentary on all new developments, written with practitioners’ needs in mind. Key cases in the courts are analysed and important or problematic issues are illuminated with the help of government guidance.
It includes key EU and UK law materials and a popular library of CJEU case law.
Brexit is set to bring changes to the UK public procurement regime. The work provides subscribers with regular updates on developments in this area including awareness of the procurement implications of the withdrawal agreement and the various models for future UK-EU relations and the implications of exiting without an agreement. Future releases will fully update the work dependent on the final outcome of the withdrawal process (‘deal’ or ‘no deal’). It may be noted that a ‘no deal’ exit will leave the bulk of the EU procurement rules in place as part of domestic law on day one, but with important changes and transitional arrangements which will be covered in this title.
