With regard to procurement legislation, what is meant by the terms 'spent' and 'unspent'?

The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 dictates that criminal convictions can be ‘spent’ – ie. Ignored – after a rehabilitation period. Once this rehabilitation period has ended, the ‘unspent’ conviction becomes spent, and the individual involved no longer has to make reference to it in applications and such like.
