That information will provide full information on any award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge award decisions before a contract is entered into. The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2006 (SI2006 No 6) 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).",
