six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the
courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss, or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts
(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of
Session.
The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has been entered into will not affect the
Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can
be established. Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are
limited to the award of damages.
