A request for review is inadmissible if more than 15 calendar days have passed since the receipt of the notification from the ordering party indicating a lack of willingness to help with the objection (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 4 GWB <German Act Against Restraints of Competition>). A request for review is additionally inadmissible if the contract has been awarded before the Vergabekammer <procurement review authority> has informed the ordering party of the request for review (§§ 168 Par. 2 Clause 1, 169 Par. 1 GWB). The award of the contract is possible 15 calendar days after the dispatch of the tenderer information pursuant to § 134 Par. 1 GWB. If the information is sent electronically or via fax, this time period is reduced to ten calendar days (§ 134 Par. 2 GWB). The time period begins on the day after the dispatch of the information by the ordering party; the day on which it is received at the concerned tenderer and applicant is not relevant. The admissibility of a request for review furthermore presupposes that a complaint has been made to the ordering party with regard to the asserted procurement violations within 10 days after knowledge was obtained of it(§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB). Complaints regarding violations of procurement rules that are apparent on the basis of the announcement must be made to the ordering party before the expiration of the time period named in the announcement for the application or for the tendering (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB). Complaints regarding violations of procurement rules that do not become apparent until appearing in the award documents must be made to the ordering party no later than by the expiration of the time period for the application or for the tendering (§ 160 Par. 3 Clause 1 No 1 GWB).
