Under Part I of the Local Government Act 1988 (Competition), work falling within certain defined activities may not be carried out by defined authorities unless it has first been subjected to competition.
The Local Government Act 1988 (Defined Activities) (Works Contracts) (Exemptions) (Wales) Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/1700) ("the 1997 Order") exempts from Part I various works contracts carried out by certain defined authorities in Wales on behalf of other such defined authorities in Wales before certain specified dates. This Order substitutes a new Schedule to the 1997 Order specifying new dates and also including works contracts in relation to information technology and personnel services. That Schedule specifies the dates of 1st April 2000 (in place of 1st April 1999) for management of vehicles; 1st June 2000 (in place of 1st June 1999) for security work and supervision of parking and 1st October 2000 (in place of 1st October 1999) in relation to construction and property services; financial services; housing management services; legal services; information technology services and personnel services. These dates correspond to the revised dates for the application of section 6 (functional work: restrictions) of the Local Government Act 1988 to those services made by the Local Government Act 1988 (Competition) (Wales) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2192).
