An EMP will be established with Providers with relevant experience and ability to assist vulnerable migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. The EMP does not operate in the same way as a Framework Agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System (\"DPS\"). It is a quasi DPS and is an \"open market\" product designed to provide access to a pool of Members which can be constantly refreshed. Potential Members can apply to participate in a EMP at any time by completing and submitting a RTP. The Contracting Authorities consider that this EMP may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of Applicants (economic operators/tenderers) will be solely on the criteria set out in the procurement documents.",

If an Applicant requires any additional information as to why their submission was unsuccessful, this should be requested from the address at Section I.1) of this notice. If the matter has not been successfully resolved, then the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102)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 started within thirty (30) days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or sought to have grounds for starting the proceedings had risen. The court may extend the time limited for starting proceedings where the court considers that there is a good reason for doing so, but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than three (3) months after that date. Where a contract has not been entered into, the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order for any document to be amended and may award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order for a fi ne to be paid, and/or order the duration of the contract to be shortened. If however the contract has been concluded, the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be ineffective."
