Section 42:  Power to make transitional provision about schemes

127.This section amends section 134 of the TA 2000, which enables regulations to be made concerning transitional provision in connection with the coming into operation of quality contracts schemes, or the variation or ending of such schemes. The most significant amendment is that which will enable transitional provisions to modify the effect of sections 89 to 92 of the TA 1985 (obligation to invite tenders for subsidised services other than quality contracts). The amendments also clarify that any transitional provision concerning the coming into effect of a scheme can only have effect from the date on which a scheme has been made, and that transitional provision may be made additionally in connection with the continuation of quality contracts schemes.
