The Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1996
These Regulations replace on 1st July 1997 the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 (Competition) (Scotland) Regulations 1995, as amended, by changing the levels above which certain services provided by local authorities require to be exposed to competitive tender. The 1995 Regulations, which required less work to be exposed to competitive tender than had previously been the case, were enacted in recognition of the additional administrative work which local government reorganisation placed upon local authorities.
