Published justification

This VEAT Notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic and associated recovery, to maintain supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication

method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority despatches the VEAT notice and the date on which the Authority

proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement.

The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering

into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings

to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include

the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer.

The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework

agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be

established. Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited

to the award of damages.

Publisher note: The estimated value of the Framework Agreement referred to in Section 11.1.7 cover(s) the 48 month contract duration of the Framework Agreement. The estimated value in Section V.2.4 covers the additional 12 month extension period of the Framework Agreement.
