Hi Regulator,
What’s your view on the delay of the contract details ?
Ditto do you think we are currently manufacturing Abc -19 tests at the moment , so all current capacity on this product?
Thanks
"The suppliers are likely embargoed until approved."
Strictly speaking, once a contract award has been made, and any standstill period has expired, then the supplier is free to publish the information. The government shouldn't be seeking to restrict a company unduly.
"Just because they publish late doesn't mean they haven't told supplier. And supplier has an obligation to rns"
The suppliers are likely embargoed until approved.
The Gov't will want all the limelight on them at a time of their choosing.

A while ago a tender was published for transport flight very late. However. Transport must have commenced much early so my assumption is suppliers must be told. So the delay is physical publication not decisions
"normally if its business days it is stated clearly as default is ordinary days."
Yep!
"Lets be honest the gov is rubbish at releasing the info when it should - even though reprimanded already on it...."
And what they do finally get round to publishing is often not what is actually required under the Regulations and Guidance.

"That’s 30 business days."
No, it's not. It's 30 calendar days, as 'working days' is not specified in s.50 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (but is specified elsewhere in the regulations where they wish working days to apply).
"Not sure if it was just me that didn't know this but Government contracts over £120k have to be published within 30 days of signing."
Actually, it's not as straightforward as that:
- under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the £120k threshold relates to whether the provisions of the Public Contract Directive will apply (e.g. whether a formal procurement/tender process is required);
- under the Public Contract Regulations, Contract Award Notices have to be published within 30 calendar days of Contract Award (i.e. when the supplier was notified they'd be getting a Contract - not when the Contract is signed) and the 30 days limit is where there is a standstill period.
- where there is no standstill period (i.e. a direct award without tender) then the requirement is publication within 20 calendar days of Contract Award.
However, the Government has also published the 'Publication of Central Government Tenders and Contracts' guidance (last update November 2017) which says that all central government contracts (including those issued by executive agencies and NDPBs) over £10k must be published in line with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
you sure Velatastic, all the papers just say 30 days?
Not sure if it was just me that didn't know this but Government contracts over £120k have to be published within 30 days of signing.
The ODX contract looks like it was signed on the 10th Feb
30 days after that is Friday and it has to be published..
At Last!!!
