The Authority shall, as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform the tenderers and candidates of its decision, and shall do so by notice in writing by the most rapid means of communication practicable. The information will include;
a) the criteria for the award of the contract;
b) the reasons for the decision;
c) the name of the economic operator to be awarded;
d) a precise statement when the standstill period is expected to end.
Should 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 2006 (SI2006 No 5) and the Public Procurement (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2011 (SI 2011/2053) 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).

Following the 10 day standstill period, if no further debriefing has been requested, the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.
