The University's particular requirement will be set out in the Invitation to Tender and SQ documentation.

The University will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point on the award of the contract is communicated to the tenderers. Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Authority as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant was unsuccessful.If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must generally be brought within 3 months. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action most be brought within 30 days where the authority has communicated the award of the contract and a summery of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months of the contract being entered into. 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, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
