Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: For the avoidance of doubt, as the procurement process in respect of this framework agreement is not subject to the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Council is not obliged to observe a ‘standstill’ period prior to entering into a Framework Agreement with the successful tenderer/s. However, in the interest of fairness and transparency the Council shall voluntarily observe a 10 day standstill period prior to doing so.
Acceptance of a Tender by the Council shall be communicated in writing to the successful tenderer/s. All unsuccessful tenderers shall receive written notification of the Council’s decision. The notice will include:
— The name of the party/parties to be admitted to the framework agreement,
— The award criteria and corresponding score obtained by:
(i) The tenderer to receive the notice and
(ii) The winning tenderer/s.
— A precise statement of when the standstill period is expected to end and the date after which the framework agreement may be concluded.
Tenderers will have the duration of the Standstill period to seek further information, which should be sought from the Council’s Authorised Officer using the contact details set out in Section I.1 of this notice.
Please note that the Council reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to extend the standstill period until any representations from unsuccessful tenderers have been fully considered and concluded, and to alter its award decision or terminate entirely the award procedure at such time.
