*The ‘vertical exemption’ (often referred to as the ‘Teckal’ exemption) is unchanged under the Procurement Act 2023 regulations. This exemption allows a contracting authority, that is a public authority, to award a contract within its ‘corporate family’ and vice versa. For example: HFL member schools can directly award contracts to HFL Education without the need for further competition because the primary threshold tests for exemption have been met.
