six.4.3) Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures: where necessary in order to

comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 this authority will incorporate a minimum

10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is

communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further

debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Such additional

information should be requested from the addressee found in 1.1). If an appeal regarding the

award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the (for Public Sector)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

(generally within 30 days beginning with the date when the tenderer first knew or ought to

have known that the grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen). Where a contract has

not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order

the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been

entered into the court may only award damages. Following the 10 day standstill period, if no

further debriefing has been requested, the court may only award damages once the contract

has been entered into.
