Part 13: General Schedule 3: Estimating the value of a contract Anti-avoidance
Paragraph 4 provides an anti-avoidance mechanism to prevent contracting authorities from artificially subdividing contracts for the purposes of arriving at a below-threshold valuation. The effect of subparagraphs (1) and (2) is that contracts that can be reasonably supplied under a single contract should be aggregated for the purposes of the valuation, unless the authority has good reasons for not doing so.
