Review and risk notes

Review procedure: The Authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection process has previously been made) applied
to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the Framework Agreement which notification will contain, among other information, a
summary of the reasons as to why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
minimum of 10 (ten) clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 (fifteen) if the communication method used is not electronic) between the
date on which the Authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant Framework
Agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition
on entering into the Framework Agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim
order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the Framework Agreement has been entered
into include the setting aside of the decision to award the Framework Agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court
proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has be enentered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless
grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the
remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages
