Timescale trackers

The contract award procedures under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 involve complex minimum timescales and potential reductions, making them confusing.

Below you can download our Timescale Tracker for each of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as appropriate).

Note that the periods given in our timescale trackers are the minimum timescales permitted by the legislation. Consideration should always be given to the complexity of the procurement and a reasonable time must be given to allow suppliers to compile their responses. You must also take into consideration the general rules around setting of time limits (these are set out at Regulation 47 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Regulation 66 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016).
