The expenditure, work or effort undertaken by bidders prior to the award of any Contract is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of bidders. Late tenders will not be considered by the Council. An economic operator that suffers, or risks suffering loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session. Tenderers should complete the ESPD (Scotland) contained within the Invitation to Tender documentation referring to \"Appendix A To The Contract Notice For The Provision of Ballast Water Sample Analysis : Plankton : Reference OIC/PROC/0657\" (SC Ref:524749)",
