Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:

The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the contracting authority as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant was unsuccessful. Any appeals against the decision should be made FAO — E2BN CEO tender@e2bn.org

If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation periods (in general 30 days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that the grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen). The Court may extend the time limit for starting the proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than 3 months after that date.

Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages or make a declaration of ineffectiveness.
