That notification is required to provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. Where the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (SI 2016 No 274) apply, provision is made for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of duty under the regulations to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Where the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (SSI 2016 No 49) apply, provision is made for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of duty under the regulations to take action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.",
        "description": "The Capex Programme Delivery Framework has been established to provide design, planning, and construction services that support Cadent's Capital Expenditure programmes throughout the RIIO-3 period and potentially beyond. This Framework will play a key role in delivering investments that enhance, expand, and maintain the networks Cadent operates. It also supports the diversion or modification of existing assets, often in response to third-party requests driven by construction, infrastructure, and property development projects. The scope of work may include both primary and secondary construction, decommissioning, and the removal or disposal of redundant assets and associated infrastructure. Partners will also contribute to Cadent's asset management objectives through design optimisation and the integration of new technologies and equipment.",
