Scheduled Maintenance of Interceptors and Drains

In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a

framework),Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public

Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority will incorporate a minimum

ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract is

communicated to economic operators. This period allows any unsuccessful economic operator(s)

to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the Contract to the

successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the

address at Sections I.1 and I.3 of this Notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the

Contract has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI

2015/102) 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). Any such

action must be started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party

first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may

extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good

reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months

after that date. Where the Contract has not been awarded, the Court may order the setting aside

of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award

damages. If however the Contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or,

where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be

ineffective.
