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
60 Competitive process for sub-contracts made under a framework agreement
(1) This regulation applies where the contracting authority— (a) has either— (i) published a notice of intention to seek offers in relation to a proposed agreement or other arrangement (“framework agreement”) which establishes terms under which a person (a “framework supplier”) would enter into one or more contracts with the contracting authority in the period during which the framework agreement applies; or (ii) invited two or more persons to negotiate or provide offers in relation to the terms of a proposed framework agreement; (b) has entered into a framework agreement with one or more framework suppliers; and (c) enters into a contract with a sub-contractor. (2) For the purposes of section 28, the award of a contract is the result of a competitive process if— (a) the terms governing the price payable under the contract are determined by a framework agreement and the conditions in paragraph (3) are met; or (b) the terms governing the price payable under the contract are determined by a competition between two or more framework suppliers and the conditions in paragraph (4) are met. (3) The conditions mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) are— (a) the procurement process by which the contracting authority entered into the framework agreement with the sub-contractor— (i) was transparent and arms-length; and (ii) used appropriate evaluation criteria to determine which person or persons should be awarded a framework agreement; (b) the material terms of the framework agreement are wholly or substantially the same as were offered by the sub-contractor— (i) in a tender submitted in response to the notice mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a)(i); or (ii) in negotiations following the invitation mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a)(ii); (c) at the time of making that offer, the sub-contractor did not consider it likely, or could not have reasonably considered it likely, that its offer would be the only offer reasonably capable of acceptance by the contracting authority; and (d) where this regulation applies by virtue of paragraph (1)(a)(ii), the persons mentioned in that paragraph included at least one person who was not the sub-contractor (or a person associated with the sub-contractor). (4) The conditions mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) are— (a) at least one of those framework suppliers was not the sub-contractor (or a person associated with the sub-contractor); (b) the competition— (i) was transparent and arms-length; and (ii) used appropriate evaluation criteria to identify the offer made by the sub-contractor as the best offer; (c) the terms governing the price payable under the contract are wholly or substantially the same as were offered by the sub-contractor in that best offer; and (d) at the time of making that offer, the sub-contractor did not consider it likely, or could not have reasonably considered it likely, that its offer in respect of the contract 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.
