  PROCEDURES FOR APPEAL

VI.3.1)
Body responsible for appeal procedures

• VI.3.2)
  Lodging of appeals

  Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: The Authority shall notify all economic operators of its decision to conclude the framework agreement by electronic mail as soon as possible after a decision has been made to conclude the framework agreement, and shall allow a period of at least 10 clear calendar days (at least 15 in the event that the communication method used by any relevant party is not electronic), before the framework agreement is concluded. Unsuccessful economic operators shall be provided in that notice with a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful and the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful economic operator. An economic operator that suffers, or risks suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/1) (as ammended) may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.

  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(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 2006 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. Economic operators are entitled to write to the Authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification. The Authority will respond within 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the Authority of such request during the standstill period may not prevent the Authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the standstill period.

  Where an economic operator is dissatisfied with the Authority’s response to its request for clarification, or considers that the framework agreement has been concluded in breach of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, such economic operator is advised to promptly seek independent legal advice.
