Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Derby City Council will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into.

Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be required from the contact details provided in section 1.1 of this notice.

If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Si 2015 No 102) 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 (generally within 3 months).

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 only award damages. [The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into].

Publisher note: Partner organisations such as Derbyshire County Council, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council (referred to as D2N2), Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS organisations within the D2N2 area and Derby Homes may access the Framework and use the 'Call Off' arrangements, under their own individual terms and conditions. The Council reserves the right to open a Lot or Lots and run an open competitive tendering process to replace existing Framework Service Provider due to failure/poor performance/material breaches etc. There will also be the option of opening up a Lot or Lots to add additional Service Providers where there are capacity issues or a lack of service provision in a specialism, support model or service model within that Lot. The Council reserves the right to add a Lot or Lots for additional service requirements and run an open competitive tendering process to award Bidders onto the Lot/s.
