The Single Source Contract Regulations 2014
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
17 Calculation of final price adjustment
(1) Where the outturn profit rate exceeds the contract profit rate, the final price adjustment is to be calculated in accordance with whichever of paragraphs (2) to (4) applies. (2) Where the difference is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points, the contract price is decreased by an amount equal to 25% of the outturn profit which exceeds excess level 1. (3) Where the difference is at least 10 percentage points but less than 15 percentage points, the contract price is decreased by an amount equal to the total of— (a) 50% of the outturn profit above excess level 2; and (b) 25% of the outturn profit above excess level 1 (but excluding the outturn profit which is above excess level 2). (4) Where the difference is at least 15 percentage points, the contract price is decreased by an amount equal to the total of— (a) 75% of the outturn profit above excess level 3; (b) 50% of the outturn profit above excess level 2 (but excluding the outturn profit which is above excess level 3); and (c) 25% of the outturn profit above excess level 1 (but excluding the outturn profit which is above excess level 2). (5) Where the outturn costs exceed the contract price, the contract price is increased by the total of— (a) an amount equal to 25% of that excess up to the loss level; and (b) an amount equal to 50% of any such excess above the loss level. (5A) For each component of a qualifying defence contract that is not subject to an agreement in accordance with paragraph (5B), the final price adjustment is to be calculated in relation to that component alone. (5B) The parties may agree to treat two or more components as aggregated for the purpose of calculating the final price adjustment in relation to those components. (6) In this regulation— (a) “excess level 1” means the contract profit which would have been achieved under the contract or component (before the application of the final price adjustment) if— (i) “AC” in the formula in regulation 10(1) were the outturn costs; and (ii) the contract profit rate were 5 percentage points higher; (b) “excess level 2” means the contract profit which would have been achieved under the contract or component (before the application of the final price adjustment) if— (i) “AC” in the formula in regulation 10(1) were the outturn costs; and (ii) the contract profit rate were 10 percentage points higher; (c) “excess level 3” means the contract profit which would have been achieved under the contract or component (before the application of the final price adjustment) if— (i) “AC” in the formula in regulation 10(1) were the outturn costs; and (ii) the contract profit rate were 15 percentage points higher; (d) “loss level” means the loss which the primary contractor would have made under the contract or component (before the application of the final price adjustment) had the outturn costs been 5% higher than the contract price; (e) “outturn costs” means the amount of the primary contractor's actual costs under the contract or component which meet the requirements set out in section 20(2)(a) to (c); (f) “outturn profit” means the difference between the contract price and the outturn costs; (g) “outturn profit rate” means the outturn profit, expressed as a percentage of the outturn costs; (h) references to “the difference” are to the difference between the outturn profit rate and the contract profit rate; (i) references to the contract profit rate or contract price exclude any amount resulting from step 3 of regulation 11 (incentive adjustment); (j) references to actual costs or the contract price exclude any liquidated damages or interest on overdue payments payable under the terms of the contract.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
