Review procedure

Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures

The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period (or 15

days where non electronic or fax methods are used) at the point that an award decision

notice is communicated to tenderers.

The award decision process will specify the criteria for the award of the contract/framework

agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative

advantages, the name and score of the successful tender(s), and will specify when the

standstill period is expected to end or the date before which the Contracting Authority will

not conclude the contract / framework agreement. If an appeal regarding the award of a

contract / framework agreement has not been

successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties

who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court

(England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order

the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any

document and may award damages.

If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness

or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and

additionally may award damages.

The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the

award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the

circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
