1. Yes. 2. See (1) above. 3. Evans and Peck demonstrated that it would be able to satisfactorily complete the requirements covered by the scope of work to a higher standard than the other tenderers. 4. The Evans and Peck proposal provided a more wide spread method to achieve a satisfactory report for the Government; and because of this and the reason stated in (3) above, the Evaluation Panel decided that, on a Value for Money basis, it was best suited to meet the tender requirements. 5. Evans and Peck will undertake an independent review to determine the reasonableness of the financial projections presented to Government by Argyle by verifying the project costs, revenue estimates and projected IRR. The Government will then be in a position to make a final decision on whether, and to what extent assistance is warranted and what form it might take. 6. See (5) above.
