This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has been entered 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.

Publisher note: The estimated value(s) referred to in Section II.I.7 and Section V.2.4 covers the twelve (12) month modification period of the framework agreement. (SC Ref:725656)
