The National Housing Trust Initiative will, by way of multiple contract notices, procure completed homes for affordable, intermediate rents in several local authority areas accross Scotland. The Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) is acting as a central purchasing body for the participating local authorities in Scotland. There is a seperate contract notice for each local authority area. It is intended that the SFT and the relevant area local authority will enter into a contract with each of the developers which are successful in the relevant contract notice (see Annexe B for further information). The completed units which meet the authority's requirements will be purchased by an LLP created by SFT, the local authority and the developer. In each case property managment and maintenance services will be delivered to the tenants by the developer or nominated and approved sub-contractor. Each developer will deliver these services in respect of their own completed units for a 5 - 10 year period. By no later than 10 years after purchase by the LLP, the units are to be sold by the LLP and the proceeds applied as agreed between the parties.

Any appeal should be directed to the person whose contact details are set out in I.1 above. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at a risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session in Scotland. Where a contract has not been concluded the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any documents and may award damages. If the contract has already been entered into when the appeal is lodged, the Court may only award damages unless satisfied that one of the prescribed grounds for ineffectiveness applies. Any action must be brought within 30 days from the date when the grounds for bringing the proceedings first arose except for an action for ineffectiveness which must be brought a) within 30 days of publication of a relevant contract award notice in the Official Journal; b) within 30 days of the date on which the contracting authority informed the economic operator of the conclusion of the contract and a summary of the relevant reasons; or c), if a) and b) do not apply, within 6 months beginning on the day after the date on which the contract was entered into.
