Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Ridgeway Education Trust will incorporate a standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide 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)

Publisher note: CPV code 55524000-9, falls under Schedule 3 Health and Social Services which is governed by Regulation 74-76 meaning the GPA is not applicable.
