The '''LATC''' is often referred to as a '''Teckal''' company. The term ‘Teckal’ comes from a particular legal case and the test on whether a local authority owned company qualifies for the ‘Teckal’ exemption in the EU Procurement Regulations (''Teckal SrL v.Commune di Viano'', Case C-107/98 (1999) ECR I-8121)<ref>[https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/publications/teckal/ RMT Teckal], Nov 2015</ref>  i.e. the Authority can pass the work to the company without having to put it out to competitive tender. In Scotland the same arrangement is known as an '''Arm’s Length External Organisation''' (ALEOs).
