Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 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 brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen). 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.

(2) The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases: (b) Where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons: (ii) Competition is absent for technical reasons,... but only, in the case of paragraph (ii) where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement;\" The technical reasons why competition is absent and the reasons why no reasonable alternative or substitute exists as required by Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCRs that the Council would rely on to justify its decision is as follows; The planting season is limited to set months of the year when the work can be carried out (planting season November to March) and failure to carry out the work immediately will mean the Council will fail to meet the UK Forestry Standards (UKFS) required. This is the technical reason for awarding new contracts to Thorpe Trees Limited and Tilhill Forestry Limited under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCRs.
