Directive 2007/66/EC, which amended the European Union’s public procurement remedies regime by requiring Member States to provide effective legal remedies for breaches of procurement law. Key measures include a mandatory standstill period before contract award, automatic suspension of contract award procedures where proceedings are commenced, and the remedy of contract ineffectiveness in specified circumstances. In the UK, these principles were implemented in domestic procurement legislation and, following Brexit, have been retained or adapted under UK law.
