The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) 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). Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which 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 good reason for extending the period within which proceedings maybe brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.

A standstill period will follow the council's provisional decision to select a provider and must end before the contract can be awarded. It gives time for any provider who might otherwise have been a provider of the services to which the contract relates to make representations; and for the council to consider those representations and respond as appropriate. If following the council's review of its representations a provider wishes to request that the Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel considers its representations, then it must submit its request using a pro forma published by the panel within 5 working days of receiving the council's decision.
