WMBC will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on entering into the agreement is published. Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1). If an appeal regarding entering into the agreement has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 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 brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen).Where the agreement has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the decision to enter into the agreement or order WMBC to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a 10-day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the agreement has been entered into.
