Nexus will incorporate a minimum of ten (10) calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the agreement is communicated to bidders. Bidders who are unsuccessful will be informed by Nexus as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why they were unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the agreement has not been successfully resolved by Nexus, the UCR provides for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within three (3) months). If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within thirty (30) days where Nexus has communicated the award of the agreement and a summary of reasons to applicants, or otherwise within six (6) months of the agreement being entered into. Where the agreement has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order Nexus to amend any document and may award damages. If the agreement has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order Nexus to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the agreement be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the courts to set aside the award decision before the Agreement is entered into.
