Section 114

In this Act, a reference to a procurement under a procurement arrangement is a reference to a procurement as part of which the contract is awarded— in accordance with a framework or similar arrangement, by reference to a dynamic market or similar arrangement, or following a procedure or other selection process carried out— jointly by two or more authorities, or by a centralised procurement authority or equivalent body. A procurement arrangement is a devolved Welsh procurement arrangement if— the framework was awarded by a devolved Welsh authority, the dynamic market was established by a devolved Welsh authority, the centralised procurement authority is a devolved Welsh authority, or a devolved Welsh authority is designated the lead authority in the tender or transparency notice. A procurement arrangement is a transferred Northern Ireland procurement arrangement if— the framework was awarded by a transferred Northern Ireland authority, the dynamic market was established by a transferred Northern Ireland authority, the centralised procurement authority is a transferred Northern Ireland authority, or a transferred Northern Ireland authority is designated the lead authority in the tender or transparency notice. A procurement arrangement is a devolved Scottish procurement arrangement if— the framework or similar arrangement was awarded by a devolved Scottish authority, the dynamic market or similar arrangement was established by a devolved Scottish authority, the centralised procurement authority or equivalent body is a devolved Scottish authority, or a devolved Scottish authority was designated the lead authority in respect of the procedure or selection process. A procurement arrangement is a reserved procurement arrangement if it is not— a devolved Welsh procurement arrangement, a transferred Northern Ireland procurement arrangement, or a devolved Scottish procurement arrangement. In this section— “equivalent body” means, in relation to a centralised procurement authority, a body carrying out functions of a kind described in section 1(4) (centralised procurement authorities); “framework” includes a framework agreement within the meaning given in Scottish procurement legislation; “similar arrangement” includes, in relation to a dynamic market, a dynamic purchasing or qualification system.
