Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:. For contracts subject to the EU Procurement legislation, utilities are required to incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification is required to provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which is required to be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.

Publisher note: Contact details for each individual procurement will be provided by the subscribing utility entity in the specific procurement documents.
