Procurement Remedies regime in the United Kingdom by Dr. Ama Eyo

6th December 2013 -  Seminar on "Public Procurement remedies in operation - judicial experiences from United Kingdom"
Since transposition of Directive 2007/66/EC into national law in EU Member States, the landscape for challenging public procurement decisions by bidders who allege that a public contract has been unfairly awarded in violation of the substantive procurement rules has changed. This change has been most noticeably in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, which traditionally did not experience significant challenge to procurement decisions of public officers. This seminar reflects on a number of judicial decisions from the UK courts to discuss developments around procurement remedies by looking at its operation in the UK, including unintended consequences arising from the remedies regime.
