- Review procedure
Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Contracting Authority as soon as
possible after the decision is made. If an Applicant requires any additional information as to
why their submission was unsuccessful, this should be requested from the address at
Section I.1) of this notice. If the matter 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 risen. 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 a contract has not been entered into, the court may order the setting aside of the
award decision or order for any document to be amended and may award damages, make a
declaration of ineffectiveness, order for a fi ne to be paid, and/or order the duration of the
contract to be shortened. If however the contract has been concluded, the Court may only
award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly,
declare the contract to be ineffective.
