‘Two tier code’ for public-sector outsourcing may be abolished

The "two tier code", used in public-sector outsourcing contracts, may be abolished in April 2011, Eugene Wojciechowski, partner at Shoosmiths, told delegates.

Wojciechowski, who was speaking in a session on the Tupe transfer regulations, said he had heard a rumour that the government were planning to abolish the code but had no further details as yet on how the change would be made.
