Feb 12, 2015
Mr Yee Jenn Jong: To ask the Minister for National Development:-
(a) what is the number and percentage of Government infrastructure projects procured that exceed the value of S$10 million that have been awarded to the lowest bidder; and
(b) how many of these tenders have been awarded taking into consideration the productivity of building methods as a tender award criterion.
Answer:
All Government projects which exceed the value of $10 million each are evaluated under the Price-Quality Method (PQM), where the productivity of building method would be taken into consideration for award. The Government awarded about $43.5 billion worth of construction projects between 2012 and 2014. About ¾ of the 590 projects above $10 million during this period went to the lowest bidders.
