six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
Glasgow City Council must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates
concerned of its decision to award the contract. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice
is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last
notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation
86 of The Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any
eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the
Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council
must not enter into the contract unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of;
or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and
the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further
clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own
independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.
