Hon Chris Bishop: This information cannot be released because it is commercially sensitive. Individual tender prices form part of the respondents' commercially sensitive bids and contain pricing, risk allocation and financing assumptions provided in confidence. Releasing this information could prejudice the commercial position of the respondents and could undermine NZTA's ability to conduct future competitive PPP procurements by revealing market pricing strategies and negotiating positions. Information relating to bid pricing and value-for-money assessments throughout the procurement process is commercially sensitive.
