The Councils incorporated a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the contracts was communicated to tenderers. Applicants who were unsuccessful were informed by the buyer as soon as possible after the decision had been made as to the reasons why the applicant was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the buyer to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness,order the relevant buyer to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above was to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.
