Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

59 Competitive process for single sub-contracts

For the purposes of section 28, the award of a contract is the result of a competitive process if— (a) the contracting authority either— (i) published a notice of intention to seek offers in relation to the provision of goods, works or services; or (ii) invited one or more persons other than the sub-contractor, and not associated with the sub-contractor, to negotiate or provide offers in relation to the provision of goods, works or services; (b) the contracting authority conducted a transparent and arms-length procurement process; (c) the contracting authority used appropriate evaluation criteria to identify the offer made by the sub-contractor as the best offer; (d) the material terms of the contract are wholly or substantially the same as that best offer; and (e) at the time of making that offer, the sub-contractor did not consider it likely, or could not reasonably have considered it likely, that its offer would be the only offer reasonably capable of acceptance by the contracting authority.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
