Details
The SSRO held four teach-in sessions for stakeholders, to discuss the changes to the single source regulatory framework brought in by the Procurement Act 2023 and associated secondary legislation.
There were two sessions each on pricing and reporting.
The aim was to develop attendees’ awareness of:
-
the changes to pricing and reporting provisions effective from 1 April 2024;
-
SSRO guidance to refer to when pricing and reporting in relation to Qualifying Defence Contracts (QDCs) & Qualifying sub-Contracts (QSCs); and
-
how to seek support from the SSRO for contract specific queries.
The attachments contain a synopsis of the questions raised at each of these 4 teach-in sessions.
-
The answers aim to help parties in applying the Regulations.
-
The Q&A are a record of what was discussed at each teach-in – as such there is some repetition of topics across the sessions.
-
The answers are correct as at 21 June 2024. NOTE: there will likely be development of the SSRO’s position on some of the topics covered as the Regulations are used in practice and we receive stakeholder feedback. This will contribute to updates to SSRO guidance.
