Classification of geographical areas and contracting authorities referred to in OJEU notices:
List of Contracting Authorities can be found in the Office for National Statistics’ Public Sector Classification Guide – see the ‘Central Government’ worksheet in the ‘Public Sector Classification Guide’ spreadsheet found at:
NUTS CODES: The European Journal template requires selection of a NUTS code (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) in an OJEU Notice, but regrettably, will not allow selection of more than one. Thus, where a notice refers to delivery/use in more than one specific region, but not throughout the UK, a NUTS code will be selected that best reflects the region of greatest use. Where a notice refers to delivery/use within more than one specific region and also throughout the UK, the NUTS code for ‘UK’ will be selected
