The information that the UK railway company Go-Ahead has obtained a lower quality score than that of NSB and Swedish SJ as part of the call for tenders for driving trains to Sørlandsbanen caused strong reactions against the Storting. The opposition has asked the Minister of Transport to come to Storting to explain the process.
A week later, Dale (Frp) did not respond to the survey – but on Wednesday he still has to meet at the Storting after the Labor Party, the Center Party and the SV have asked four questions on time questions.
Dale denounces the claims that he remained silent.
– They asked me questions formally through the Storting questionnaire. The opposition said that it was urgent to clarify the situation and that it was important that I come to Storting as soon as possible. Therefore, I intend to answer what they ask, at question time, that Dale is telling NTB.
– Without respect and arrogant
– It is common for the minister to appear before the Storting when we ask for a statement. The fact that he does not even answer is very special. I have never heard of it before. This shows the lack of respect for the Storting, said Aps Transport spokesperson Sverre Myrli at NTB.
– Mildly said a very unusual political maneuver. I was expecting a less arrogant minister, Arne Nævra, spokesperson for the SV Istemmer policy.
Sigbjørn Gjelsvik, spokesman for the Center Party for Finance and Business, said something similar had not happened yet, saying Dale did not want to meet him during the radio debate on towing.
I had two chances
Ap, Sp, SV, Red and MDG are behind the investigation into a statement to which Dale did not respond.
– We even gave him a double blow. Before the weekend, we sent a new letter in which we made it clear that we were going to pull the four questions from the time questions that he always wanted to come to the Storting and keep an account. But we did not receive that letter either, says Nævra to NTB.
Criticism and skeptic
Opposition parties criticize the bidding process, doubt that the criteria were met and skeptical about the handling of the complaint about the bidding process. by SJ.
Myrli says that there is a fundamental principle in the administration against which one complains, not even to deal with the complaint.
"But here it was the Railways Branch, which evaluated the bids and chose Go-Ahead, which handled SJ's complaint.It is very strange that the complaints were not handled by the Appeal Board of the Public Prosecutor's Office, he said.
"Leather process"
Gjelsvik says that a lot of things in the process worry him.
– The price should be 40% and quality 60%. Go-Ahead is depleted with 12 of the 15 quality points. According to my calculations, Go-Ahead is poorer than NSB and SJ, even when calculating the price. In addition, the contract with Go-Ahead was signed on October 30, two weeks before the completion of the complaint. There are indications that this is a skin process, "says Gjelsvik.
Weighted price
When the Nordlandsbanen offer is proposed, it is announced that the price will be weighted at 50%, the quality at 45% and the contractual understanding at 5%. This is indicated in the award criteria set on November 7th.
"This means that the government has chosen to play with the cards open and to say that the prize is what matters most, which we believe was also the case of Sørlandsbanen, so now we can no longer criticize them for At the same time, the reason for the entire railway reform will be eliminated – that this would be an improvement for customers, Nævra told NTB.
