The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 87) 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). Any such action must be brought within 30 days of the date of knowledge (the date on which the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen) unless the court considers that there is good reason for extending that period (up to a maximum of 3 months from the date of knowledge). If the contract has been entered into the court may award damages and in the case of specified breaches of the rules may also order the termination or shortening of the contract and the levying of fines. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above was to allow parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract was entered into."
