Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

8 Concession contracts

(1) In this Act, “concession contract” means a contract for the supply, for pecuniary interest, of works or services to a contracting authority where— (a) at least part of the consideration for that supply is a right for the supplier to exploit the works or services, and (b) under the contract the supplier is exposed to a real operating risk. (2) An “operating risk” is a risk that the supplier will not be able to recover its costs in connection with the supply and operation of the works or services, where the factors giving rise to that risk— (a) are reasonably foreseeable at the time of award, and (b) arise from matters outside the control of the contracting authority and the supplier.

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.

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.
