This section has no associated Executive Note
28.—(1) In this regulation a “consortium” means two or more persons, at least one of whom is an economic operator, acting jointly for the purpose of being awarded a contract.
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), a utility must not treat the tender of a consortium as ineligible nor decide not to include a consortium amongst those economic operators from which it will make the selection of economic operators to be invited to tender for, or to negotiate, a contract or be admitted to a dynamic purchasing system on the grounds that the consortium has not formed a legal entity for the purpose of tendering for, or negotiating, the contract or being admitted to a dynamic purchasing system.
(3) Where a utility awards a contract to a consortium it may, if to do so is justified for the satisfactory performance of the contract, require the consortium to form a legal entity before entering into, or as a term of, the contract.
(4) In these Regulations, references to an economic operator where the economic operator is a consortium include a reference to each person who is a member of that consortium.
