Review procedure

The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day (when using electronic means) standstill period at the point information on the award of the Contract or Contracts is communicated to Tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful Tenderers to challenge the decision to award a Contract or Contracts before such Contract or Contracts are executed/signed (as appropriate). The Public Contracts Regulations 2015(‘Regulations’) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or 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 and within the time limits as defined in the above regulations. Where a Contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If a Contract has been entered into the court has the options to award damages and/or to shorten or order the Contract ineffective.
