Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what weighting ratio in relation to price and quality his Department uses in decision-making on public procurement contracts.
This question was answered on 25th February 2019
The quality/price weighting ratio that the Department uses in the evaluation of public procurement contracts will vary dependent upon the specific requirements of each procurement. As an example, when evaluating tenders for the DfT’s Specialist Technical Advice for Rail (STAR) Framework, the Department used a 70%:30% quality/price weighting ratio.
