A reminder that under Regulation 84(1) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, there is an obligation to create a report on every over-threshold public contract and framework agreement entered into, and to send a copy of this to the Cabinet Office if requested to do so.
A Regulation 84(1) report is not required for contracts called off under a framework agreement, if (1) the framework agreement is with a single supplier and is awarded in accordance with Regulation 33(7), or (2) the framework agreement is with more than one supplier but the call-off contract is awarded without reopening competition in accordance with Regulation 33(8)(a). In all other cases a Regulation 84(1) report will be required for a call-off contract.
Mills and Reeve have a handy content report checklist you can use to ensure that your report contains the right information and is compliant. The information can be accessed here. If you require any further information, do contact me.
