European procurement legislation
All public sector contracts, no matter what their value within the European Union, are covered by a treaty which incorporates the free movement of goods and services and which prevent discrimination against firms on the grounds of nationality.
The principles of the treaty are backed up by a series of EU Procurement Directives. The London Museum is subject to these directives.

UK procurement legislation
The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 regulate the purchasing by public sector bodies of contracts for goods, works or services. The regulations are designed to promote fairness and transparency whilst offering guidance on how the Museum should approach the market.
Local rules
