VI.3)PROCEDURES FOR APPEAL
VI.3.1)Body responsible for appeal procedures
VI.3.2)Lodging of appeals
Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: APUC Ltd has incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day Standstill Period after notification to unsuccessful applicants of the award decision. The period allows unsuccessful suppliers to seek a debriefing from APUC Ltd before the framework agreement is entered into and to provide an opportunity to seek to challenge the award decision before it is implemented. A request for a debriefing made before midnight on the 2nd working day after the date of despatch of the notification of the award decision must be fulfilled at least 3 working days before the expiry of the Standstill Period. A nominated contact point to request debriefing was detailed in the notification letter. The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006 No.1) provide for remedies through the Scottish courts to be sought by economic operators who suffer (or risk suffering) loss or damage as a consequence of a failure by APUC Ltd to comply with certain provisions of those regulations and/or certain EU Community obligations relating to procurement. In summary, proceedings must be brought promptly and in any event within 3 months of the date on which grounds for bringing proceedings first arise. The relevant court will have discretion to extend the deadline if it considers there is good reason for so doing.
