13.—(1) To the extent that the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2006(1) (“the 2006 Regulations”) continue to have prospective effect, their effect is modified as follows.
(2) The 2006 Regulations have prospective effect as if—
(a)regulation 7(7) (which relates to information requested by the European Commission) were omitted;
(b)in regulation 8(3) (which provides for certain information to be sent to or for the European Commission)—
(i)in sub-paragraph (a), the words from “5,000,000 euro” in the words before sub-paragraph (i) to the end of paragraph (xiii) read “£4,101,850, submit, within 48 days of the award, a contract award notice to the UK e-notification service for publication, containing the information referred to in regulation 70(2)(a) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016”;
(ii)in sub-paragraph (b)—
(aa)“400,000 euro” read “£328,150”;
(bb)“5,000,000 euro” read “£4,101,850”;
(cc)paragraph (ii) read as follows—
“(ii)if the Minister requests that information in relation to any such contract, forthwith send it to the Minister;”;
(c)regulation 38(2) (which provides for the provision of certain reports requested by the European Commission) were omitted.
(3) Where—
(a)immediately before IP completion day, a procurement has been commenced,
(b)on or after IP completion day, a contract is awarded or any other act is done, pursuant to that procurement, and
(c)that award or other act would, if it had occurred before IP completion day, have been covered by an exemption from requirements of the 2006 Regulations by virtue of any provision in those Regulations,
that award or other act is covered by that exemption on and after IP completion day regardless of whether the terms used to define that exemption in the 2006 Regulations would otherwise have been apt to continue to achieve that effect on and after IP completion day.
S.I. 2006/6. The Regulations were revoked by S.I. 2016/274 but subject to savings. Before being revoked, the Regulations had been amended by S.I. 2007/2157, 3542, 2008/2256, 2848, 2009/3100, 2011/1043, 1441, 2053, 1848, 2012/1659, 2013/610, 2015/102.
