Answer

This information cannot be released because it is commercially sensitive. It comprises detailed evaluation methodology, scoring outcomes, and bidder-specific assessments developed as part of a commercially sensitive PPP procurement process. Releasing this information could prejudice the commercial position of the respondents and could undermine NZTA's ability to obtain effective competition and value for money in future competitive PPP procurements by revealing evaluation approaches, comparative strengths and weaknesses, and risk assessments that bidders provided on a confidential basis.
