(3) Where the pricing amendment does not create a new component, the price payable under the amended contract or, where the pricing amendment relates to an existing component, that component must be re-determined in accordance with a contract pricing method (and is to be treated for the purposes of these Regulations as if it was determined in accordance with that contract pricing method and not this Schedule).

(2) Where this paragraph applies—

(a)the pricing amendments are to be treated separately and dealt with in turn,

(b)Part 2 or 4 (as the case may be) applies in relation to each pricing amendment as it applies to a single amendment, and

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
