The powers to directly award were due to expire under EU legislation. It is in the best interests of the railways and passengers in Great Britain to retain them. Leaving the EU has given us the flexibility to do so.

This Statutory Instrument makes amendments to ensure the Government is able to meet its obligations in relation to subsidy provision under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), and to harmonise its provisions with the Subsidy Control Act 2022 and the Procurement Bill.
