VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum ten (10) calendar days standstill period at the point that information on the conclusion of the contract is communicated to all tenderers. This period allows any unsuccessful tenderer(s) to seek further debriefing information from the contracting authority before the conclusion of the contract. Such additional information should be requested from the address at I.1) of this notice. If an appeal regarding the conclusion of the tender/procurement has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) 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 started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting such proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time-limit for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where the contract has not been concluded, the Court may set aside the decision to award the contract or order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been concluded, the Court may only award damages or where the award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be ineffective.
