work performed on a basis of direct payment from council or other authority.

My comment:

There is no perfect equivalent in English. This expression is normally used when a contractor has financial difficulties, preventing it from paying its sub-contractors.

My comment:

« en régie », ici est une expression qui n’a pas d’équivalent en anglais. Dans un document du même type en anglais, le titre du paragraphe serait "Work performed by the city, county, etc.. ", selon le cas.
