Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the public-law appeal remained admissible despite the tender stage and later award
Decisione estratta
The appellant retained a legally protected interest; if necessary, the court could also address the lawfulness of the award decision.
Motivazione estratta
The exclusion from the procedure affected the appellant directly. Even if the award had already been made, an exception to the purely cassatory nature of public-law review could apply for a declaration of unlawfulness under the market-internal law framework.
