Review and risk notes

Review procedure: Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session

Publisher note: Award notice being placed retrospectively for documentation purposes. This was originally a 1+1+1-year contract, but both extensions have now been taken so this will be documented as a 3-year contract. (SC Ref:845509)
