The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service comments are as follows:
Box 1: We would not favour the implementation of review procedures since that could add to the already extended timetables for awarding contracts and might well lead to frivolous review requests.
Box 6: We would favour the minimum periods as in the Directive.
Box 8: The standstill derogations should be implemented as a standstill has no point in these circumstances.
Box 10: We would favour the time limits being brought into line with those in the Directive rather than left vague as "promptly".
Box 11: We would favour prospective cancellation as more practicable and not relying on common law.
Box 12: We support this.
We have no view on Boxes 15 and 16
Box 17: We favour time limits as in the Directive.
We have no view on the remaining boxes.
