Additionally, applications for review are not permitted if an award has been made before the public procurement tribunal has informed the contracting authority about the application for review (sections 168 (2) sentence 1 and 169 (1) GWB). Contracts may be awarded 15 calendar days after the tenderer information pursuant to section 134 (1) GWB has been sent. If the information is sent electronically or by fax, the period shall be reduced to ten calendar days (section 134 (2) GWB). The period shall begin on the day after which the contracting authority sends the information; the date of receipt by the tenderer and candidate in question shall be irrelevant. The admissibility of a review application also requires that the applicant notified the contracting authority about the claimed violations of public procurement provisions within ten calendar days of becoming aware of them (section 160 (3) sentence 1 no. 1 GWB). Violations of public procurement provisions which become apparent from the tender notice must be notified to the contracting authority by the end of the time limit for the application or the submission of a tender specified in the notice (section 160 (3) sentence 1 no. 2 GWB). Violations of public procurement provisions which only become apparent from the procurement documents must be notified to the contracting authority by the end of the time limit for the application or the submission of a tender (section 160 (3) sentence 1 no. 3 GWB).
