Proposed Negative

Sift end date: 18 February 2019

The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EU Withdrawal Act”) will convert the text of directly applicable EU legislation into domestic instruments. This instrument ensures that the legislative framework for the award of Public Service Obligations (PSO) in transport (rail franchises and bus services concessions) will remain legally operable on and after exit day. The instrument corrects a number of deficiencies which will arise as a result of EU withdrawal and ensures that the rules around the direct award of PSO contracts continue to have effect in domestic law on and after exit day. 

This instrument applies to land transport which is a transferred matter for Northern Ireland under the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
