Published justification

This VEAT Notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic and associated recovery, to maintain supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority due to circumstances unforeseen by the Authority in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

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.

The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has been entered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.

Publisher note: Total value of the procurement (II.1.7) covers the total fifteen (15) month period, three (3) months which are covered in line with Regulation 72(1)(a) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Total value of the concession/lot (V2.4) covers the twelve (12) month extension period as covered in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
