Section 24

The information is— the contracting authority information, the title of the procurement, the unique identifier for the procurement, the contract subject-matter, the estimated value of the contract, how tenders may be submitted and the date by when they must be submitted, whether the notice is being used to invite tenders for a special regime contract and, if so, whether that contract is a defence and security contract or a light touch contract, whether the contracting authority considers that the contract or any lot forming part of the contract may be particularly suitable to be awarded— to a small and medium-sized enterprise, or to a non-governmental organisation that is value-driven and which principally reinvests its surpluses to further social, environmental or cultural objectives, an explanation of the criteria against which the award of the contract will be assessed, ... a description of any conditions of participation in relation to the award of the contract , ... whether the notice is being used, in accordance with article 3 of the Local Government (Exclusion of Non-commercial Considerations) (England) Order 2025, to reserve a contract— to suppliers based within the United Kingdom, or to suppliers based within the local area, and for that purpose, also specify the areas which constitute the local area for the purposes of article 3(5) of that Order , and whether the notice is being used to reserve a contract to either or both of the following— small and medium-sized enterprises; non-governmental organisations that are value-driven and which principally reinvest their surpluses to further social, environmental or cultural objectives. Nothing in this regulation prevents a contracting authority from publishing other information that relates to the same procurement in the notice.
