VI.3.1)Body responsible for appeal procedures:
Not Provided
VI.3.2)Lodging of appeals: Fabrick Housing Group will incorporate a minimum 10 day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Should such additional information be required, please contact the person cited in paragraph 1.1 of this form.
If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations (SI 2006 no 5) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (within 3 months from the time the aggrieved party knew, or ought to have known, about the alleged breach).
Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision, or order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered in to the court may order the setting aside of the contract, may award damages and impose a financial penalty on the Contracting Authority. Damages may also be available to any of the parties involved. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow parties the opportunity to challenge the award decision made by the Contracting Authority and, where appropriate, issue proceedings against the Contracting Authority which shall have the effect of automatically suspending the contract award procedure until the proceedings have been concluded.
