The Authority will incorporate a voluntary minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point
information on the award of the Contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful
shall be informed by the Authority as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons
why the Applicant was unsuccessful. If any clarification regarding the award of the 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 breach of the rules to take legal action.
Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been

If a contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a
declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the
