Section 29 - Social public works clauses: notifying the Welsh Ministers
78.There may be valid reasons why a contracting authority does not intend to include social public works clauses in major construction contracts. This section requires a contracting authority to notify the Welsh Ministers if, in relation to a major construction contract—
a.
it does not intend to include the social public works clauses, or
b.
despite taking reasonable steps to include them, they are not contained in a contract.
79.A contracting authority must also inform the Welsh Ministers if it has failed to pass the required obligation through supply chains via subcontracts, or has not put a process in place to manage their implementation.
80.A notification must be made as soon as possible giving the authority’s reasons.
