Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
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 incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day
standstill period at the point that information on the award of the Contract was communicated to economic
operators. This period allowed 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.
