Part 10: Procurement oversight Section 110: Guidance following procurement investigations
Subsection (1) states that an appropriate authority may decide to publish guidance for contracting authorities following a procurement investigation under section 108 (procurement investigations). Such guidance will relate to lessons learned from investigations to assist in compliance with the legislation by contracting authorities generally.
	Subsection (2) states that contracting authorities must have regard to this published guidance when carrying out their procurement obligations under the legislation.
	Subsection (3) ensures that contracting authorities are only obliged to have regard to guidance issued in accordance with the limitations on Ministers’ exercise of powers provided in Part 11. For example, a devolved Welsh contracting authority need not have regard to guidance issued by a Northern Ireland Department.
