What Is a Contract Change Notice?
This is a UK procurement term. The notice a buyer publishes when it makes a qualifying change to an existing contract.
When must a contract change notice be published?
Before most modifications to a public contract take effect, with some exceptions, such as low-value or certain minor changes.
What does it contain?
Details of the contract, the change being made and the justification for making it.
Can suppliers challenge a change?
Yes. Buyers can apply a voluntary standstill period after the notice, giving other suppliers time to challenge if they think the change breaks the rules.
