Procurement Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 May 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Procurement Bill [HL].

I thank the Minister for giving way. I am confused and I am sure he can help me. Clause 82(1) specifically says:

“A contracting authority may not, in carrying out a procurement, below-threshold procurement or international organisation procurement, discriminate against a treaty state supplier.”

The Minister just said the opposite of that in the case of below-threshold procurement. The Bill is very clear that a below-threshold procurement does not let off the contracting authority from having to give the contract to a treaty state supplier.
