The Council is a local authority and therefore is a “contracting authority” for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (“PCR 2015”) and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (“CCR 2016”).
The Council adopted a competitive dialogue process pursuant to Regulation 30 of the
Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (PCR) which involved the following two core stages:
Stage 1 – an evaluation of the capacity, capability, and financial standing of Tenderers to meet Council requirements and shortlisting (SQ);
Stage 2 – the Invitation to Participate in Dialogue (IPCD) comprised of two stages:
i. Initial Dialogue and submission of Outline Solutions, following which there was further shortlisting.
ii. Detailed Dialogue leading to close of Dialogue and the submission of Final Tenders,
following which the winning Tenderer was selected.

- Review procedure
Oldham Borough Council incorporated a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. The standstill period was for a minimum of 10 calendar days and provided time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into. The Public Contract Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No.102) (as amended) provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
