Statutory exceptions to service provision change

[ch 2: page 23]

There will be no SPC if:

• the commissioning client only intends the new service provider to carry out the activities in connection with a single specific event or task of short-term duration (Regulation 3(3)(a)(ii), TUPE); or

• the activities consist wholly or mainly of the supply of goods (Regulation 3(3)(b), TUPE).
