If any clarification regarding the award of the Contracts has not been successfully resolved between the parties, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the regulations to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the ESFA to amend any document and may award damages. If a contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the ESFA to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the voluntary standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the Framework Agreement is entered into."
