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 Section II.1.7 and V.2.4 covers the contract duration of the agreement. The Board intended to award a contract to one successful Contractor for the supply of either Lot 1 or Lot 2, but not both. The Board would accept the highest ranked offer for Lot 1, unless the quoted price exceeded the Board’s budget of 3,346,000 GBP for that procurement or the Board considered that no offer adequately met its requirements. If the Board did not award a contract for Lot 1, then the Board would consider the highest ranked offer for Lot 2. If no offers fell within the budget for this procurement or the Board considered that no offer adequately met the requirements specified herein, then the Board would decline to accept any offer.
