Section 89

In this Act, a “treaty state supplier” means a supplier that is entitled to the benefits of an international agreement specified in Schedule 9. But a supplier is a treaty state supplier only to the extent that it is entitled to the benefits of an international agreement specified in Schedule 9 in relation to the procurement being— carried out, or challenged. An appropriate authority may by regulations amend Schedule 9 for the purpose of— specifying an international agreement to which the United Kingdom is a signatory, or removing, or amending a reference to, an international agreement. In subsection (3)(a), the reference to being a signatory to an international agreement includes a reference to having— exchanged instruments, where the exchange constitutes the agreement; acceded to the agreement. In this Part a reference to a supplier being entitled to the benefits of a treaty includes a reference to a supplier being entitled by virtue of the place of origin of goods, services or works supplied. In this Act— a reference to a treaty state supplier does not include a reference to a supplier that is entitled to the benefits of an international agreement only by reference to the United Kingdom being party to that agreement; a reference to a state or territory being party to an agreement includes a reference to a state or territory being part of an organisation of states or territories that is party to an agreement.
