These Regulations provide modernised rules for the procurement of goods, services and works above certain thresholds by public authorities, and contain provisions that are enabled through the implementation of the new Public Sector Procurement Directive (2014/24/EU), as well as re-enact provisions on remedies and review procedures for public procurement, as implemented by the UK in the Public Contracts Regulations 2009.
Note that the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) have largely been replaced for new public procurements by the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force on 24 February 2025 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
