Overview
Contracting authorities planning to conduct a design contest must announce their intention through a contest notice. The contest notice must be submitted for publication to the UK e-notification service, in accordance with regulation 51 (publication on the UK e-notification service) PCR 2015.
After the design contest has taken place, the contracting authorities must submit a notice of the contest results for publication to Finder a Tender, in accordance with regulation 51. The contracting authorities must be able to demonstrate the date on which the notice was submitted to the UK e-notification service.
In cases where releasing information on the contest outcome could impede law enforcement, be contrary to the public interest, harm the commercial interests of a particular enterprise, or impact fair competition between service providers, such information may be withheld from publication.
