six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
General
Reference should be made to Regulation 88 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (the “Regulations”) and independent legal advice should be sought urgently before any claim is commenced.
A claimed breach of the public procurement rules is actionable by any economic operator in legal proceedings brought in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session in Scotland.
Prior Notice of Proceedings
Proceedings under this regulation may not be brought unless the economic operator has first informed the contracting authority of —
(a) the nature of the claimed breach or apprehended breach of the public procurement rules; and
(b) its intention to bring proceedings in respect of that claimed breach.
Time Limits for Bringing Proceeding
(1) In the case of proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order (as defined in regulation 91 of the Regulations)
Where a “direct award” contract award notice has been published in accordance with Regulation 52 or where the purchasing body has given “standstill notice” to all bidders in accordance with Regulation 85, then proceeding must be brought within 30 days from the date of publication or sending the notice, as the case may be.
In any other case where an ineffectiveness order is sought, proceedings must be brought within 6 months from the date of the contract being entered into or the date of conclusion of the framework agreement.
(2) In any other case
proceedings must be brought within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen unless the court considers that there is a good reason for extending the period within which proceedings may be brought, in which case the court may extend that period for up to a maximum of 3 months from that date
