Rules & policy
Light-touch regime
A more flexible set of rules for certain social, health, education and other people-centred services.
The light-touch regime applies to specific service categories where higher thresholds and more flexible procedures recognise the nature of the services.
If you deliver health, social care, education or similar services, it's worth knowing when the lighter rules apply, as the process can differ from a standard procurement.
