A challenge to parameter-wise marks is not barred by res judicata where prior proceedings did not assess undisclosed evaluation material and later disclosure creates a fresh cause of action. Judicial review does not reassess technical merits but examines legality of the decision-making process. Unexplained differential scoring of similar bids, undisclosed comparative standards, absent evaluation summaries and inadequate debriefing violate transparency, equality and fair administrative action.
