Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The UK does not have any special review body with responsibility for appeal/mediation

procedures in public procurement competitions. Instead; any challenges are dealt with by

the High Court, Commercial Division, to which proceedings may be issued regarding alleged

breaches of the PCR 2015.

The EA operated a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point

information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification

provided full information on the award decision. This provided time for the unsuccessful

tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into.

Publisher note: The value shown in II.1.7 refers to the estimated value of the 12 tendered Lots based on historical usage figures. There is no additional value added to the existing frame FMM-21-001 i.e. all spend under this Secondary Competition falls under the value of the original framework FMM-21-001 (£4,800,000)
