    These inter-departmental emails were released by the Central Procurement Directorate on 3 March 2010 following an FoI request. They were not released by the Department for Regional Development following an earlier request. These important documents appear not to have been evaluated by the independent investigators during the 2008 investigation into the procurement of the Rathlin ferry service. Were these emails given to the investigators and, if not, why not? Some CPD reservations: "*** still has reservations over the scoring frame. Just as myself and *** have already said, he continues to be worried about its transparency and the integrity of the whole process. I remain extremely uncomfortable with the notion of any evaluation model which is set up to exclude [12 Oct 2007] I am disappointed to note this e-mail. You believe that the adjustments to the scoring frame were minor. I have approved these adjustments and I am satisfied that the adjustments are fundamental clarifications of the competition criteria and that it was essential that this exercise was completed before opening the tenders. You now raise concerns that the requirement for explicit sub criteria has not been fully appreciated within the context of this competition. The integrity of the process is dependent on each member of the evaluation team being clear on the contract requirements [17 October 2007]" May 19 update: Apparently the Information Commissioner is reluctant to pursue a complaint made against the DRD's failure to disclose this DRD-CPD correspondence on the grounds that the complaint was not made in time. Why would you make a complaint if you don't know about the existence of such correspondence!!
