What is it? / How does it work?

The Directives have been implemented into national law in the UK by Regulations.  Revised Regulations came into force on 31 January to implement new procurement Directives.  These new Directives clarify, simplify and update the previous regime and introduce a number of new provisions, detailed below in paragraph 4. The revised regulations, which replace the previous four, can be viewed at OGC's website.  They are:-

Public authorities (the State, regional and local authorities and other public bodies) 
The Public contracts Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No.5). These Regulations replace the previously separate Supply, Works and Services Regulations

Utilities (i.e. certain operators in the water, energy, transport and telecommunications sectors)
The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2006 (SI 2006 No.6)

These Regulations do not extend to Scotland where separate Regulations have been made. Any authority entering into a contract that is to be carried out in Scotland would need to consider the application of the Scottish Regulations.
