The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the\r\n date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (\u00e2\u0080\u009cthe Regulations\u00e2\u0080\u009d).

The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period\r\n means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the\r\n proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court\r\n proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic\r\n Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days.
