Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what evaluation weighting applied to each of the four cultural fit critera included in the advertisement for the Market Access Discovery Team contract, published on 13 February 2017.

The Crown Commercial Service’s template for procuring complex digital specialists and/or outcomes includes a ‘cultural fit’ criteria, as this is considered important in the digital marketplace. The cultural fit criteria is not disaggregated across its four components.
