Procurement Act 2023
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
26 Excluding suppliers from a competitive award
(1) In assessing tenders under section 19, a contracting authority must disregard any tender from a supplier that is an excluded supplier. (2) Before assessing which tender best satisfies the award criteria for the purposes of section 19, a contracting authority— (a) must consider whether a supplier is an excludable supplier, and (b) may disregard any tender from an excludable supplier. (3) If the supplier is an excluded or excludable supplier only by virtue of an associated person being an excluded or excludable supplier, the contracting authority must, before disregarding a tender— (a) notify the supplier of its intention to disregard, and (b) give the supplier reasonable opportunity to replace the associated person. (4) In this Act, “associated person” means a person that the supplier is relying on in order to satisfy the conditions of participation (see section 22(8)), but not a person who is to act as guarantor as described in section 22(9).

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.
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.
