Draft Disability Assistance for Older People (Scotland) Regulations 2024: Draft Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment

Competition Assessment

The Scottish Government does not believe that Pension Age Disability Payment will directly or indirectly limit the number of suppliers, nor will it limit the ability of suppliers to complete or reduce suppliers’ incentives to compete vigorously.

Any procurement required to support the administration of Pension Age Disability Payment will be subject to the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, which together provide a national legislative framework for sustainable public procurement, which supports Scotland’s economy growth through improved procurement practice.
