The Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point

information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The duration of this

standstill will be disclosed at this point.

This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting

Authority before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be required

from (Refer to address in Part 1.1). If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not

been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 6) provide for

aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to

take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must

be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the

setting aside of the

award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If

the contract has been entered into the Court may order the ineffectiveness of a contract

where serious breach have occurred in addition to any fine, the Court may instead provide for

alternative penalties, either contract shortening, fines or both.

Please ensure that you read the tender documents carefully in order to be aware of the

requirements and relevant deadlines.
