Any such action must be brought promptly and within the time limits as defined in the above regulations. Where a [Contract/Framework Agreement] has not been entered into 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 the Framework Agreement has been entered into the court has the options to award damages and/or to shorten or order the Framework Agreement ineffective.
