35Contracts register
1
A contracting authority must keep and maintain a register of contracts (a “contracts register”).
2
The contracts that must be registered are any contracts entered into as a result of a regulated procurement.
3
In relation to each contract, a contracts register must contain the following information—
a
the date of award,
b
the name of the contractor,
c
the subject matter,
d
the estimated value,
e
the start date,
f
the end date provided for in the contract (disregarding any option to extend the contract) or, where there is no date specified, a description of the circumstances in which the contract will end,
g
the duration of any period for which the contract can be extended.
4
The authority may delete an entry in its contracts register only after the contract to which it relates has expired or been terminated.
5
The authority must make the information contained in its contracts register publicly available on the internet and by such other means as it considers appropriate.
6
However, the authority may withhold an entry or part of an entry in the register if it considers that making it publicly available would—
a
impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest,
b
prejudice the commercial interests of any person, or
c
prejudice fair competition between economic operators.
