The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all
tenderers and candidates of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing
system. The SFRS will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill at the point information on the contract award is communicated to
tenderers. The SFRS is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sherriff Court
or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the SFRS, they suffer or risk suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court
proceedings during the standstill period means that the SFRS must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or
establish the dynamic purchasing system 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.
