The regulated authority in question may have an internal appeal procedure, but once this is exhausted, the state courts are the only other avenue to have the claim heard. A party can apply for and be granted an injunction (interdict) to stop the organ of state from contracting with another party or to prevent the implementation of the contract, pending the review of the decision to grant the contract. To succeed, such action must be launched without any delay. One of the factors the court will consider is whether there is a prima facie basis for the reviewing party to succeed on review. In most circumstances, if it is found that there has been non-compliance with procurement legislation, the court is likely to set the contract aside and may refer the procurement decision back to the regulated authority to re-open the procurement procedure. The review of tender can take on average from six months to two years.
