In Teleperformance Contact Ltd v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2023] EWHC 2481 (TCC)1, the English High Court confirmed that losses suffered by intra-group companies are generally irrelevant when lifting the automatic suspension on the Home Office’s £1.2 billion global visa and citizenship services procurement.
The case is the latest in a series of judgments in the English Courts which narrow the availability of procurement remedies to aggrieved third parties and will be of particular interest to multinationals and other businesses that deliver public contracts through a network of intra-group companies or as subcontractor to prime contractors outside their group.
