EU Principles

In its "Alcatel" judgment (Case C-81/98), the European Court of Justice stipulated that Member States were required to set up review procedures permitting a decision awarding a public procurement contract to be suspended and annulled at a stage where the infringement can still be rectified.

This would allow an aggrieved tenderer to have a contracting authority's award decision suspended by way of interim measures and set aside, notwithstanding the possibility once the contract has been concluded of obtaining an award of damages.

The UK will comply with the Commission’s demand for a change to the UK Regulations.
