Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the award after the contracts had already been concluded.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant still had a legally protected and practical interest because a declaration of unlawfulness could support a later damages claim.
Extracted reasoning
In public procurement, when the contract is already signed, the remedy may be limited to a declaration of unlawfulness of the award; the disappointed bidder must only show a plausible causal link between the illegal award and its asserted damage.
