The public sector procurement rules were revised from 31 January 2006 as a result of the introduction of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006. The new rules introduce a number of changes including:
- a wholly new "competitive dialogue" procedure designed for PFI/PPPs;
- detailed rules on the use framework agreements; and
- rules governing e-procurement, including the use of e-auctions.
