The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period (or 15 days where non electronic or fax methods are used) at the point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers. The award decision notice will specify the criteria for the award of the contract agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages, the name and score of the successful tenderer; and will specify when the standstill period is expected to end or the date before which the Contracting Authority will not conclude the contract agreement. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract agreement has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (as amended) provide for the aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session. Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 30 days). Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend the document and may award damages. Where a contract has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness and impose a financial penalty on the Contracting Authority. If the Court does not make a declaration of ineffectiveness then it may impose a financial penalty on the Contracting Authority and/or may order the duration of the contract shortened. The Court may also award damages. The time limit for seeking a declaration of ineffectiveness is generally 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
