When a TA project is significantly different from what ADB has done before, and where therefore ADB and consultants have to collectively figure out how it will be implemented, a quality-based selection method may work better than a quality and cost-based selection. It gives teams the flexibility to choose the consultant who has the best experience and ideas, rather than one who is the least costly.
