Section VI: Complementary information

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for
economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However,
any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out
for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the
most economically advantageous tender.
In the event of any dispute or difference ("the Appeal") arising from this
Contract Notice or the subsequent tender process, such Appeal shall be
referred to GGH's appeals procedure as follows:
1. The Appeal shall be sent to GGH's Senior Business Manager Quality and
Performance who shall refer the Appeal for resolution through an
appropriate GGH Director who has had no involvement with the Contract
Notice or subsequent tender process.
2. In the event that the Appeal is not resolved through the appropriate
GGH Director then the Appeal shall be referred to a panel set up by GGH's
Board of Directors for resolution.
3. If the parties are unable to resolve the Appeal through the above
two-stage procedure then the Appeal shall be referred by either party for
arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Acts 1950
and 1996 by a sole arbitrator to be appointed by agreement between the
parties or in default of agreement to be referred to the Alternative
Dispute Resolution service, PADRE. The costs of such arbitration shall be
borne equally by both parties. In following the Appeal procedure the
parties shall act in good faith towards each other and shall use their
best endeavours to resolve the dispute. VI.4.2) Lodging of appeals (please
fill heading VI.4.2 OR if need be, heading VI.4.3).
Precise information on deadline(s) for lodging appeals: Following
implementation in to English Law of Directive 207/66/EC ("the Directive"),
regulations implementing the Directive and providing for the lodging of
appeals shall apply. The Contracting Authority will issue an award
decision notice (standstill letter) to tenderers as soon as possible after
the award decision has been made. The notice will include the information
prescribed by Regulation 32(1) and (2), Public Contracts Regulations 2006

(as amended by the Directive). A similar notice will also be sent to
applicants who applied to be included among the tenderers but did not
submit an offer, either because they withdrew or were eliminated. In this
instance the notice will not include the relative advantages of the
successful tender, because the applicant will not have submitted an offer.
Applicants who have been eliminated or dropped out at earlier stages of
the tender (for example, at pre-qualification questionnaire stage) and
have already been informed of the rejection of their application and the
reasons for it will not be sent a standstill letter. However, where a
decision is taken to exclude an applicant prior to contract award, the
applicant will be notified of that decision. In this case the applicant
will have two working days from notification of the decision to request
additional debriefing and that information will be provided within 10
working days. The Contracting Authority will incorporate a standstill
period at the point information on the award of the contract is
communicated to tenderers. The standstill period will end at midnight at
the end of the tenth day after the date on which the Contracting Authority
sends the award decision notice (by fax or email). Where the standstill
notice is sent by means other than fax or email, the period will end at
the latest by midnight at the end of the fifteenth day after the sending
date (or earlier, if more than ten days after the date on which the last
economic operator received the notice have elapsed). This period will
allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the
Contracting Authority before the contact is entered in to. Any claim for a
declaration of ineffectiveness will need to brought within either 30 days
of the contract award notice (where an OJEU Notice was not published and
the Contract Award Notice sets out the justification for not doing so) or
otherwise six months from the day of contract signature. All claims other
than for ineffectiveness must be brought promptly and within three months
from when the cause of action arises. GO Reference:
