Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

The Performance Based Fee Scorecard process uses carefully selected and suitably experienced third-party rail industry professionals, who are contracted through external suppliers, to act as independent evaluators for scorecard evaluations.

The Performance Based Fee Scorecard process provides multiple stages of assurance for the results determined by independent evaluators, with moderation of those results from senior rail managers in the Department and process assurance from the Government Internal Audit Agency.
