5.—(1)  Despite paragraph 4, a procurement —

(a) any person; or

(b) a department of the Government or of a statutory body.

(3)  Despite paragraph 4, a contracting authority may exclude a procurement, or an act or measure in relation to a procurement, from the application of all or any regulations made under section 6 of the Act, if —

(a) such exclusion is necessary for reasons of national security;

Effect of exclusion

6.  Where a contracting authority is entitled under paragraph 5(3) to exclude a procurement or an act or measure in relation to a procurement from the application of all or any regulations made under section 6 of the Act, the contracting authority is not required, in carrying out the procurement, act or measure, to comply with those regulations from which application the procurement, act or measure has been excluded.

Value of procurement contract

7.—(1)  For the purposes of paragraph 4, the value of a contract of procurement is the estimated value of the contract less the goods and services tax chargeable on that value.

(2)  Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) to (9), the estimated value of a contract of procurement is the value of the consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under the contract, taking into account all forms of remuneration, including any premiums, fees, commissions and interest receivable.

(3)  The value of the consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under a contract which is a recurring contract is to be based on either —

(a) the aggregate of the value of the consideration given by the contracting authority under similar recurring contracts concluded —

(i) during the last financial year of the contracting authority ending before the relevant time; or

(ii) during the period of 12 months ending immediately before the relevant time,

adjusted, where possible, for anticipated changes in quantity and value over the period of 12 months commencing at the relevant time; or

(b) the aggregate of the estimated value of the consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under all recurring contracts which are part of the same procurement as the firstmentioned recurring contract —

(i) in the next financial year of the contracting authority commencing on or after the date which the contracting authority expects to award the initial recurring contract of that procurement; or

(ii) during the period of 12 months commencing immediately after the date referred to in sub‑paragraph (i).

(4)  Despite sub-paragraph (3), where the goods or service, or combination of goods and service, to be procured under a recurring contract are required for the sole purposes of a discrete unit of a contracting authority and —

(a) the decision of whether to procure the goods or service of that type, or goods and service of those types, has been devolved to that unit; and

(b) that decision is taken independently of any other part of the contracting authority,

the valuation methods described in sub-paragraph (3) are to be adapted by aggregating only the value of the consideration —

(c) which the contracting authority has given for similar recurring contracts which were required for the sole purposes of that unit; or

(d) which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give for recurring contracts which are part of the same procurement as the firstmentioned recurring contract and which are required for the sole purposes of that unit,

as the case may be.

(5)  The estimated value of a contract —

(a) for the lease, rental or hire purchase of goods or service, or a combination of goods and service; or

(b) which does not specify a total price,

is to be based on —

(c) the total estimated value of the consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under the contract for the duration of the contract, where the duration is a fixed period of 12 months or less;

(d) the total estimated value of the consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under the contract for the duration of the contract without making any deduction for the estimated residual value of the contract, where the duration is a fixed period which exceeds 12 months; or

(e) the estimated value of consideration which the contracting authority expects, at the relevant time, to give under the contract in respect of each month of the contract multiplied by 48, where the contract is of indefinite duration.

(6)  Where there is any doubt as to whether a contract referred to in sub‑paragraph (5)(a) or (b) is for a fixed or indefinite duration, the basis for determining its estimated value is that referred to in sub‑paragraph (5)(e).

(7)  Where any contract of procurement specifies a requirement for an option to buy goods, service, or a combination of goods and service, the value of the maximum permissible procurement under the option forms part of the estimated value of the contract.

(8)  Where any of the goods or service to be procured are goods or service the procurement of which is not subject to the Act, the value of those goods or service need not be included as part of the estimated value of the contract.

(9)  A contracting authority must not use a basis of valuation referred to in this paragraph for a contract of procurement, or divide a procurement requirement, with the intention of avoiding the application of the Act.

(10)  For the purpose of this paragraph, the relevant time is —

(a) the date on which the notice of intended procurement referred to in regulation 10 of the Government Procurement Regulations 2014 is sent, or the date the notice ought to have been sent, to the Government Printer for publication in the Gazette (whichever is the earlier); or

(b) the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published, or the date the notice ought to have been published, in GeBIZ (whichever is the earlier),

as the case may be, if the requirement to publish the notice of intended procurement in an approved medium applies to the procurement in question.
