The Public Contracts Regulations 2015

The Minister for the Cabinet Office is designated for the purposes of section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 M1 in relation to public procurement M2 and in relation to the combating of late payment in commercial transactions M3.

The Minister for the Cabinet Office makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by section 2(2) of, as read with paragraph 1A M4 of Schedule 2 to, that Act.

These Regulations make provision for a purpose mentioned in section 2(2) of that Act, and it appears to the Minister for the Cabinet Office that it is expedient for certain references to provisions of EU instruments to be construed as references to those provisions as amended from time to time.
