Review procedure

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

Publisher note: The estimated value referred to in Sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 covers the (12) month contract duration and the twenty-four (24) month extension period of the framework agreement. (SC Ref:665327)
