What are the rules in UK Public Contracts ? | Britain | United Kingdom Government Contracts

The rules for public contracts in the UK are governed by a number of laws and regulations, including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. These regulations are designed to ensure that public contracts are awarded in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner. Some of the key rules include:

• Advertising of contract opportunities in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU)

• Use of standard procurement procedures, such as open, restricted, or negotiated procedures

• Evaluation of tenders based on objective criteria, such as price and quality

• Prohibition of discrimination on grounds such as race, gender, or disability

• Requirements for companies to disclose certain information, such as their tax status

• Provisions for appeals and disputes to be resolved through the courts or alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

It is also important to note that the UK's departure from the European Union will affect the rules of Public Contracts, as the country is no longer bound to EU procurement regulations.
