Review procedure

The UK does not currently have any such bodies with responsibilities for appeal/mediation procedures. CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and where appropriate, will incorporate standstill period(i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.
