(1) The public procurement tribunal shall decide whether the applicant's rights have been violated, and shall take suitable measures to remedy a violation of rights, and to prevent any impairment of the interests affected. It shall not be bound by the applications and may also independently intervene to ensure the lawfulness of the procurement procedure.
(2) Once an award has been made, it cannot be revoked. If the review procedure becomes obsolete by the granting of the award, cancellation, discontinuance of the procurement procedure or in any other way, the public procurement tribunal shall determine, upon the application of a party, whether there has been a violation of rights. Section 167(1) shall be inapplicable in this case.
(3) The public procurement tribunal shall decide by way of an administrative act. Decisions shall be enforced, also against public authorities, in accordance with the administrative enforcement acts of the Federation and the Länder. The amount of the penalty payment shall be at least EUR 1,000 and shall not exceed EUR 10 million. Section 61(1) and (2) shall apply mutatis mutandis.
