Amendment 25, page 35, line 21, at end insert—
“(2A) A contracting authority must publish any key performance indicators set under subsection (1).”—(Alex Burghart.)
This amendment is linked to Amendment 24 and would require key performance indicators to be published, but not necessarily before the contract is entered into—further provision about publication would be made in regulations under clause 95.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
