Review Details
Any economic operator that suffers, or risks suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Concession Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 may bring proceedings to the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
Why this procedure was chosen
Regulation 8 of the 2016 Regulations provides that the 2016 Regulations apply to services concession contracts with an estimated value of 5,193,000 GBP (inclusive of VAT) (indicative value excluding 20% VAT – 4,327,500 GBP). The estimated value of the proposed contract that is the subject of this notice – which is a services concession contract – is below the threshold at which the 2016 Regulations apply and public procurement of the contract in terms of the 2016 Regulations is not therefore necessary.
