(1) This regulation sets out other information which must be included in a contract award notice published by a private utility under section 50(1) of the PA 2023 where the contract was awarded directly in accordance with section 41 or 43 of the PA 2023.

(3) Nothing in this regulation prevents a contracting authority from publishing other information that relates to the same procurement in the notice.

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.
