<p>The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR) will be revoked
once the new procurement regime under the Procurement Bill, which includes Defence
provisions and is currently going through Parliament, comes into effect.</p><p> </p><p>To
prevent a gap in statutory procurement regulation arising from the 'sunset' clause
in the Retained EU Law (REUL) Bill revoking the DSPCR and other procurement regulations
before the procurement regime under the Procurement Bill comes into effect, the DSPCR,
along with the other public procurement regulations, will be saved using the powers
in the REUL Bill. This allows the current procurement regulations to continue to apply
until the new procurement regime is ready.</p>
