Boilerplate For Public Sector Contracts With Listed Bodies (Public Bodies Act 2011)

A boilerplate clause for use in public sector contracts by an organisation that is proposing to enter into a new contract with a listed body that is susceptible to abolition or modification by ministers under the Public Bodies Act 2011.

• The listed body that the contract is with may be abolished or modified by ministers under the Public Bodies Act 2011, so the contract may be void or changed

• The contract should state what will happen if the listed body is abolished or modified

• The contract should be made with the listed body, not with a minister
