Use – Councils can clearly understand which services they must deliver and those that might no longer be a priority. This list also enables Councils via the mappings to find web pages that need changing and identify teams who need re-training following a change in legislation.",

But any term purporting to restrict or override the implied term is without effect.The reference to a supplier becoming an excludable supplier includes a reference to—(a) a supplier becoming an excludable supplier on the basis of a discretionary exclusion ground that—(i) did not apply before award of the contract, or(ii) applied before award of the contract by reference to different circumstances, and(b) a contracting authority discovering that, before award of the contract, the supplier was an excludable supplier. \"material breach\" means a breach that the contracting authority considers could reasonably result in a successful legal challenge under Part 9 or otherwise.",
