Public procurement - Contracting entity to terminate contract

For the first time, the Danish Public Contracts Appeals Board has cancelled an award decision in a call for tenders under the Danish Public Procurement Act in a ruling of 23 March 2017. It means that the ruling is also the first that triggers the rule in section 185(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act which stipulates that the contracting entity is obliged to terminate the concluded contract if the contracting party's award decision is cancelled. Compared to the previous situation, it has now even more far-reaching consequences for the contracting entity and the business with which the contracting entity has entered into the contract if the contracting entity's award decision is cancelled.
