FOR INFORMATION – NOT STATEMENT OF POLICY ... Public Contracts Regulations 2015
7 pages
New Public Contracts Regulations (PCR 2015) came into force on 18 April 2016. The PCR 2015 requires commissioners to advertise when they intend to award contracts for healthcare services valued at more than the threshold - €750,000 (about £590,000) - over the contract’s lifetime, unless an exemption applies (see below). This does not mean every contract requires a full formal competitive procurement exercise.
