Pipeline Practicalities ...
By 26th May 2025, authorities with an anticipated spend on works, services and goods contracts of over £100 million per annum need to publish their first UK01 Pipeline Notices under the Act.
These are notices of each contract valued at over £2m inclusive of VAT that the authority expects to enter into over the next 18 months.
Government Commercial Function has published this leaflet as guidance on how to comply with the obligation.
At present it appears that a separate UK01 Pipeline Notice needs to be published for each individual contract. It looks like Find a Tender service will eventually have an option to display all contracts in a pipeline for a particular authority or geographical area, although this will not be available immediately.
