Review and risk notes
Review procedure

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.

Publisher note: The total value in Sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 refers to the eight (8) month duration of the Contract. (SC Ref:665554)
