Correcting Errors
Sustainability
New Remedies Directive Remedies Directive 2007/66/EC
To be given effect by 20th December 2009 Harmonise standstill arrangements
Possible review procedure, which if adopted means award is frozen until outcome of review
Introduce ineffectiveness as a remedy for illegal direct awards (cancellation of contracts entered into either retrospectively or prospectively)
Think of effect on funders decisions!
Weightings and Marking Scheme Disclosure
Universale-Bau AG, Case C – 470/99 ATI v. ACTV Venezia et alia, Case C – 331/04
Community law does not preclude a jury from attaching specific weight to the subheadings of an award criterion, provided that that decision : - does not alter the criteria for the award of the contract set out in
the contract documents or the contract notice; does not contain elements which, if they had been known at the
time the tender was prepared, could have affected that preparation;
was not adopted on the basis of matters likely to give rise to discrimination against one of the tenderers."

Correcting Errors
In ITT and PQQ Ensure right is reserved
Allow additional time
Ensure equal treatment and transparency
In Bids Ensure right to seek correction is reserved
Have pre-defined procedure
Not fundamental issues
Ensure equal treatment
How to Assess Sustainability
In the Specification
Use proportionate contractual remedies, LADs or
KPI matrix which has effect on amount paid
At selection stage
Can EO show capability to meet specification?
But NOT at award stage
unless essentially linked to MEAT
