These defined light-touch services are subject to a higher threshold and, when a relevant procurement exercise is launched, procurement officials must also assess the expected value (including possible extensions) in order to determine the rules applicable to the process: when a publication notice is sent to the Official Journal of the European Union, a collector must notify it within 24 hours (in accordance with the right of publication in the national level). “Contracts Finder”. Following the award of contracts, information on an awarded contract is required when a contract notice is sent to the Official Journal of the European Union or (ii) when a call is made in a framework. These are aspects of the so-called “Lord Young” reforms, which aim to make procurement opportunities more accessible to small businesses. Section 7 of the 2015 Public Contracts Regulation describes the rules on the award of services considered to be “social and other specific services” above the threshold of EUR 750,000 set. As stated in the EU factsheet on a new simplified regime for service contracts, “contracting authorities must announce in advance their intention to award contracts of this value and make known the procurement decision according to the procedure”. In the fully regulated regime, there are defined mandatory and discretionary reasons for rejecting a candidate (first step). In the LTR, the use of these reasons is not a legal requirement, but they can be used – they are also part of the “familiar” purchase and there is probably little reason not to do so (the Crown Commercial Service recommends this). In fact, in most cases, it might be strange that they are not used.
Additional reasons may also be appropriate if they are proportionate and relevant to the subject matter of the procurement. In any event, all the grounds for exclusion used should be clearly mentioned from the outset and indicated in the procurement documents in order to avoid any doubt. In this article, we examine the context and legal framework behind the regime. The Crown Commercial Service has provided further instructions on the new light touch diet. You can find them here. This is a light-touch framework agreement, permitted by Regulations 74 to 77 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) and under which the Council has flexibility as to the procedure or procedure to be followed for the purchase of certain services, including Lac and SEN, as well as family assessment services. In this case, the Council renews a framework agreement with several suppliers setting out the conditions for the purchase of certain services (call-offs). The framework agreement differs from the framework agreements allowed under the regime of non-easy contacts in that the Council, in exercising its flexibility, will keep the framework open to new applicants. The Council shall exercise its right to extend the specification of services under the existing Framework Agreement to supply sectors which were not included in the Treaty at the beginning of this Framework Agreement. As the Commission expands the terms of reference, all suppliers, whether or not they have applied for membership in the framework, may apply for services in accordance with the expanded service specifications. From what I can see, there are no details that specifically limit or allow the light touch regime to apply framework agreements in regulations. However, in the Official Journal of the European Union, specific questions arise as to whether the opinion contains the statement of reasons for a framework agreement.
This would mean that the light touch regime can be applied to framework agreements. According to the new legislation, services subject to light touch regulation are “social services and other specific services”. These services are still determined by CPV codes and are listed in Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This list includes services such as “hotel services and restaurants”, which would not have cross-border interest, if a buyer needs a hotel in Manchester, it is unlikely that a Paris-based hotel will be able to offer its services. . . .
