If an appeal regarding the award of a contract/ framework agreement has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action should be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific Page 72 to 72 contract be shortened and additionally may award damages. The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally, 30 days from notification of the award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months."
