Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant still had standing to challenge the procurement award after the contract had already been concluded.
Decisione estratta
No; once the contract was concluded, a successful complaint could no longer affect the appellant's legal position, so the required protected interest was lacking.
Motivazione estratta
The declaration of unlawfulness under cantonal procurement law does not affect the already concluded contract. Unlike an unsuccessful bidder, the successful bidder cannot derive a continuing practical interest from the damage claim, because the finding no longer changes its position.
