Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages.

The Contracting Authority will incorporate a standstill period at the point the decision regarding the award of the contract is communicated to offerors.
