LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1972 - SECT 99



99.(1) Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section, a council may
enter into contracts necessary for the discharge of any of its functions.

(2) All contracts made by a council shall be made in accordance with the
standing orders of the council and in the case of contracts for the supply of
goods or materials or for the execution of works, the standing orders shall

(a)require that, except as otherwise provided by or under the standing orders,
notice of the intention of the council to enter into a contract shall be
published and tenders invited; and

(b)regulate the manner in which such notice is to be published and tenders are
to be invited.

(3) Without prejudice to section 19(1)(a)(ii) of the Interpretation Act
(Northern Ireland) 1954, a person entering into a contract with a council
shall not be bound to enquire whether the standing orders of the council which
apply to the contract have been complied with, and all contracts entered into
by a council, if otherwise valid, shall, notwithstanding that the standing
orders applicable thereto have not been complied with, have full force and
effect.

(4) Where any part of the expenditure to be incurred by a council on the foot
of any contract proposed to be entered into by the council would fall to be
defrayed by way of a grant from public funds, other than a grant in aid of the
general expenditure of the council, the Ministry by which payment of the grant
would be made or recommended may issue directions, either generally or in a
particular case or cases, that the council shall not enter into the contract
otherwise than by acceptance of a tender submitted after public notice
inviting tenders has been duly given, without first obtaining the approval of
that Ministry; and where any such direction has been issued it shall be the
duty of the council to give effect thereto.
