Thames Water Utilities Limited 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 Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 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)
