Review procedure

The Contracting Authority will comply with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and, where applicable, will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to all Economic Operators..

Publisher note: Sport NI are about to enter into a home country partnership agreement with Sport Scotland to improve connection, collaboration and opportunities to support the wider sporting workforce in both regions. As part of this home country partnership, Sport Scotland will be able to afford Sport Northern Ireland with the opportunity to utilise their digital learning platform, hence negating the need for Sport Northern Ireland to build and develop their own system. This partnership opportunity was not known until after the original tender had gone live and was only given approval to go ahead on 21 December 2022.
