Cabinet Office has recently consulted on draft Regulations to implement the new EU procurement Directives[1] and is considering its response. The Cabinet Office plans to publish guidance on the new Regulations before they come into force.

The Department for Education is currently working with the Cabinet Office to understand the implications of these changes. The Department will communicate with local authorities in the spring so they are clear on the position. If necessary we will issue additional guidance in the spring.
