six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The Contracting Authority incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the
point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers.
The award decision process specified the criteria for the award of the contract/framework
agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative
advantages, the name and score of the successful tender(s), and specified when the
standstill period was expected to end or the date before which the Contracting Authority will
not conclude the contract/framework agreement.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract/framework agreement has not been
successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties
who have been harmed or are at risk of 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 3 months). The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any
document and may award damages.
If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness
or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and
additionally may award damages.
The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the
award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the
circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
