Public procurement standstill deadline guide
A procurement challenge can turn on the authority’s notice, the mandatory standstill and an automatic suspension. The guide identifies the cited period but does not generate a date until the working-day model is independently reviewed.
Worked check
One tested route from this procedure
- Example input
- 03/08/2026
- Relevant fact
- A contracting authority has sent a standstill notice, but the notice’s stated start and voluntary-extension terms are not confirmed.
- Expected result
- No automated date. Check the stated standstill period and the separate issue-and-notification requirements.
The guide distinguishes the eight-working-day minimum from the conditions for preserving an automatic suspension.

A cited route for the step in front of you
These are focused procedural checks, not a general legal guide. Open the named step to see its trigger, period, counting method and the boundary that still needs to be checked.

Pick the exact event or document
A calculator opens with the matching rule or system selected. A cited source guide stays deliberately source-first when the current model cannot faithfully generate a date.
Check before use
The procedure is not the whole matter
- The precise remedy, notice and court timetable must be checked separately.
- This guide does not determine whether a procurement claim is in time.
