(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend three earlier sets of Regulations which apply the compulsory competitive tendering requirements of the Local Government Act 1988 (the CCT requirements) respectively to legal services, construction and property services and to the supervision of parking, management of vehicles and security work. In each case the effect of the amendment is to apply the CCT requirements from specified dates to county councils and non-metropolitan district councils which are not subject to a structural change pursuant to local government reorganisation.
