Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) 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). Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the Court considers that there is good reason for extending the period within which proceedings maybe brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.

Publisher note: The values given in Section II.1.7 and V.2.4 are estimates only based on historic figures. The level of spend under the framework cannot be predicted and there is no guarantee of work for any given provider.
