day standstill period from the point at which information on the award of
the contract was communicated to bidders. TfL provided any feedback
requested by the bidders. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract
has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2006
(SI 2006 No 5) provide for a party who suffers, or risks suffering, loss
or damage as a consequence of a breach of the rules to take action in the
High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be
brought promptly (generally within 3 months). Since the contract has been
entered into, the Court may only award damages. The purpose of the
standstill period referred to above was to allow bidders to apply to the
Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract was entered
into.
