- Review procedure
The Authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or(where no deselection process has previously been made)applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the Framework Agreement which notification will contain, among other information, a summary of the reasons as to why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
minimum of 10(ten) clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15(fifteen)if the communication method used is not electronic)between the date on which the Authority dispatches the notice(s)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 amend 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(s). 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 maybe awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.
Publisher note: The value in Sections II.1.5 and V.2.4 covers the full duration of the framework including any optional extensions. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 22184 (NP34422) For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 (SC Ref:716689)
