Where and Within What Time Limit Should an Application Be Made Against the Cancellation of a Tender?

26 February 2026

Where a tender is cancelled under Public Procurement Law No. 4734, the remedies and time limits available to candidates, tenderers and prospective tenderers who suffer a loss of rights are laid down by the legislation. Those remedies are a complaint to the contracting authority, an appeal to the Public Procurement Authority, and proceedings before the administrative courts. Applications must comply with the applicable procedure and time limits; otherwise they are rejected. Against some cancellation decisions an application must first be made to the contracting authority, while in other cases it must be made directly to the Authority or to the court. The article also addresses procurements falling outside the scope of Law No. 4734.
