Question juridique clé
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint was admissible and whether the appellant had standing
Solution extraite
The complaint was admissible in principle because the appellant, ranked second, had a sufficient legal interest; the request for a declaratory finding of unlawfulness was only relevant if a contract had already been concluded.
Motifs extraits
A second-ranked bidder may plausibly obtain the contract or, if the contract has already been signed, seek a declaration of unlawfulness as a basis for damages.
