After the award
If you bid and did not win: the standstill period, the usual time to challenge the award, and a letter asking the buyer for its reasons.
This is not legal advice. The periods run from the date the decision was sent to you, which may differ from the date shown here. Check your award letter and national law, or ask a lawyer, before you rely on any date.
Show the periods and the letter
This notice gives no award date, so no day is worked out here. Count from the day your award letter was sent. An award notice is often published after the contract has been signed, so these periods have usually passed by the time the notice appears.
- Standstill period
- Usually 20 calendar days from the day after the decision was sent.
- The buyer usually may not sign the contract before it ends.
- Time to challenge
- No period of its own: the application usually has to arrive before the contract is signed, in practice within the standstill period
- Review body
- Voorzieningenrechter (kort geding)
- Rule
- Aanbestedingswet 2012, art. 2.127
The periods are the ones for contracts above the EU thresholds. Below them national rules differ, and some awards have no standstill at all.
Ask the buyer for its reasons
A debrief request in English: the letter is not written in the buyer's language. Fill in the parts in square brackets and send it to the contact named in your award letter.
