Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) 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). Proceedings must be brought within 30 days from the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the Court considers that there is good reason for extending the period within which proceedings may be brought, in which case the Court may extend that period up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge.

Publisher note: The duration of contract (Service Period) given in section 11.2.7 is the full contract length, excluding contract mobilisation activities to be undertaken in parallel with the existing contract period. The Client may reduce the Service Period by notice to the Contractor so that the Service Period ends 7 years from the starting date. The Client's notice is given no less than 18 months before the end of that 7 year period. The Client may reduce the Service Period by notice to the Contractor so that the Service Period ends 7 years from the starting date. The Client’s notice is given no less than 18 months before the end of that 7 year period. In deciding whether to reduce the Service Period, the Client takes account of: (a) KPI performance and environmental performance; (b) the latest triennial review that is to be undertaken by October 2030 as described in Volume 2, Part A of the Scope; and (c) the Contractor's proposals for the second 7 year period, including the Contractor’s proposals for performance, plant, machinery, fleet, information technology and other relevant matters. If necessary schemes that commence during the Service Period may be completed after its end.The estimated value of individual schemes to be ordered under the Contract is not to exceed a Task Cap, which will be £20million in the first instance but will be subject to indexation.The contract value in this notice is an estimate as contractual volumes will fluctuate depending on available funding. The figure is based on the full term of 14 years and is exclusive of VAT.
