IMVHO, this briefing note seems to be saying, after much complex legal
argument, that the OFT will not take forward CA98 cases at the moment
"28. The legal position with regard to public bodies which both purchase
and directly provide goods or services for non-economic purposes (for
example purposes which are purely social, environmental or national
security related) is unclear and in a state of development, with a
number of important judgments on the subject awaited. The OFT considers
that the best use of its resources is to await clarification of the law
rather than immediately to examine such cases on an individual basis
under the CA98."
So they can set rates amongst themselves, whereas we cant.
