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 or the
standstill period must be extended. Any request received after this period
will be responded to within 15 days of the request. Such additional
information should be required from the officer named in this contract
notice or in the letter/e-mail providing the information about contract

harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England,

the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the
authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has
been entered into the Court may only award damages. The purpose of the

Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered
into.
