Practical Law may have moderated questions and answers before publication. No answer to a question is legal advice and no lawyer-client relationship is created between the person asking the question and the person answering it. Where appropriate, you should consult your own lawyer for legal advice. Practical Law's employees are not practising solicitors or barristers. The Ask scope and rules apply.

Q:
We have entered into a contract that should have been let in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations 2006 (PCR 2006), but unfortunately the proper procurement process was not followed. An information request has been made for documents relevant to the contract. Are these documents still covered by the confidentiality provisions in regulation 43 of the PCR 2006?
