VI.3) Additional information
Provided that the tender is submitted fully in accordance with the requirements set out within the specification and the remaining sections of the tender documents, the contract will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender based on 100 % price.
The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (‘SMEs’). However, any selection of economic operators will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tenderer(s).
Further specifics on the above award criteria can be found in the tender documentation published with this notice.
Please note that tenders will only be evaluated substantively once suitability of economic operators has been assessed in accordance with the SQ, which will be marked on a pass or fail basis as detailed in the supplier submission document. Economic operators who fail to pass the minimum selection criteria within the SQ will be excluded from the process at this stage and their tender submission will not be subject to further evaluation. Economic operators found to be suitable by the Council will proceed to have their submissions evaluated using the award criteria set out in the tender documentation.

VI.4) Procedures for review
VI.4.1) Review body
High Court of England and Wales
N/a
UK
VI.4.3) Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract or conclude a framework), Regulation 87 (Standstill periods) and Chapter 6 (Applications to Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), the contracting authority incorporated a minimum ten (10) calendar day standstill period at the point that information on the award of the contract was communicated to economic operators. This period allowed any unsuccessful economic operator(s) to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the award of the contract to the successful economic operators. Such additional information should be requested from the address at Sections I.1) and I.3) of this notice above. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract 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 sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the time limited for starting 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 three (3) months after that date. Where the contract has not been awarded, 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 however the contract has been awarded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the Contract to be ineffective.
