HC Deb 20 June 2002 vol 387 c552W
Ms Shipley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the 35 per cent. design component of his Department's capital projects. [603181

Mr. Hutton

In order to evaluate tenders from bidders a preliminary invitation to negotiate (PITN) is sent out. The bidder's response to each question on the PITN is allocated a score and weighted percentage. 35 per cent. is the percentage mark attributed to the weighting of the design component.
