Written question asked by Andy McDonald (Labour) on Wednesday, 1 May 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 7 May 2019. It was answered by Andrew Jones (Conservative) on Monday, 13 May 2019 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
East Midlands Rail Franchise
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether all three bids for the East Midlands franchise were non-compliant.
- Answer
-
It was a fair, open competition and Abellio provided the best bid for passengers, in which it demonstrated that it will not only meet but exceed the Department’s specifications
In complex procurement processes such as this, it is a matter of course that there may be small technical non-compliances. These include, for example, incorrect font sizes or submitting bids in the wrong format. This does not constitute a material non-compliance which would affect the compliance of the bid as a whole.
