I was trying to identify the scores from recent competitions and whether any assessors were common across these applications.
I've attached a screenshot of what I received from a previous FOI enquiry. As you can see, they have associated the assessor with their assessment score whilst still keeping things confidential.
I was hoping to get an updated version of this to include a number of other projects so I could not only see the scores for each question but also see if any of the assessors scored us low on multiple different applications or decided to be awkward with their scoring. [redacted]
I appreciate that it is a lot of work but the full list of applications that I would like to see are as follows:
Faraday Battery Challenge Round 4 Innovation: R&D - Long Life Scalable Battery System for Electric & Hybrid Freight Rail Applications 1184 Faraday Battery Challenge Round 5 Innovation: Feasibility Studies - Robust Sealed For Life Battery Pack For Rail & Road Freight
SBRI Competition: First of a Kind 3: Resilience, freight, noise & environment - Retrofit EURO 6 Diesel Hybrid System For Shunters & Other Freight Applications
Innovate UK Smart Grants: August 2020 - Hybrid Electric Powertrain Conversion for Heavy Duty Mainline Freight Locomotives
Innovate UK Smart Grants: July 2022 - Operate Any Diesel Rail Locomotive With Zero Emissions Using Overhead Electric Cables
SBRI Competition: First of a Kind 2021 - Artificial Intelligence Driven Hydraulic Energy Recovery & Delivery for Rail Wagons
SBRI Competition: First of a Kind 2021 - High Power Mainline Hybrid Electric Conversion For Freight Locomotives
1152 SBRI Competion: First of a Kind 2022: Low emissions and a greener railway - Locomotive Electric Range Extender & Off Board Power Supply
1153 SBRI Competion: First of a Kind 2022: Rail Freight - Self Powered Electric Wagons
SBRI Competion: First of a Kind 2023: Reliable and Maintainable Assets Rail Demonstrations - If you can't measure it, change it until you can, aka Many hands make light work.
Innovation Loans Future Economy Competition - Round 1 - Low Carbon Hybrid Electric Powertrain Replacement for Class 37 Mainline Freight Locomotive
1206 Innovation Loans Future Economy Competition - Round 4 - Upcycled Class 66 Locomotive With Cutting Edge Electric & Hybrid Electric Powertrains
Zero Emission Propulsion CR&D - Operate Any Diesel Rail Locomotive With Zero Emissions Using Overhead Electric Cables
Some of these, the ones with the competition number associated with them are shown on the attached screenshot so these will remain unchanged aside from any of the five assessors who may have appeared sassessing other applications.

Apologies, it looks like I made a spelling mistake and scoring got autocorrected to costing. I'm looking for the scoring for each section from each assessor, for each competition.
