"reviewDetails": "The Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The duration of this standstill will be disclosed at this point. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authority before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be required from (Refer to address in Part 1.1). If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 6) 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 promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may order the ineffectiveness of a contract where serious breach have occurred in addition to any fine, the Court may instead provide for alternative penalties, either contract shortening, fines or both. Please ensure that you read the tender documents carefully in order to be aware of the requirements and relevant deadlines. The Council reserves the right to award all, part or none of the business forming the subject matter of this procurement and to abandon, halt, pause, or postpone this procurement at any time. Under no circumstances will the Council incur any liability (including, but not limited to, liability as to costs) in respect of this procurement exercise, the abandonment of the same, or any documentation issued as part of this procurement exercise.",

The GCP are the delivery organisation for the Railway Station, however part of the funding is due to be provided by the developer of the wider Waterbeach New Town. Due to a delay in the legal agreement required between the GCP and the developer, GCP has taken the decision to delay the full ITT until November 2024. It should be made clear that the GCP is committed to delivery of the station and are confident that an agreement will be reached by November. However, it would not be appropriate to enter a full ITT until this is in place. The dates expected for the contract have been updated as appropriate, and the closing date for the SQ has now been moved back to Friday 23 August at 12 noon. We have also taken the opportunity to review the requirements associated with company turnover, this has been reduced, and in line with a revised estimated Contract value for the Design and Construction now put at between PS20m and PS30m, we can confirm that we are reducing the requirement for bidders to demonstrate a turnover of PS30m per annum."
