six.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures
The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no
deselection notification has previously been
made)applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement
which notification will contain among other
information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will
incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is
not electronic) between the date on which
the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to
conclude the relevant framework agreement.
The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will
automatically continue the prohibition on entering
into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or
disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings
to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the
framework agreement has been entered into include
the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning
tenderer(s). 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. Economic operators are
entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further
clarification. The authority will respond within
15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such
request during the standstill period may not
prevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the
standstill period. 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
