Through these public procurement regulations, we will implement 2 new EU procurement directives for utilities contracts and concessions contracts to support government’s commercial reform programme.

The changes will enable a more modern, flexible and commercial approach making the public procurement process faster, less costly, and more effective for businesses and buyers.

The draft regulations are now available for public consultation. The closing date for responses is 18 September 2015.
