Mandy is looking to source windows and doors for a new build apartment block. She has done some initial research and has discovered that there are many suppliers in the marketplace that can supply the items she needs. As it is a high-value project she is thinking of running a formal tender. What should be Mandy's first step?
- A. Run a restricted competition - send out a PQQ
- B. Run an open competition - send out an ITT
- C. Run an open competition - send out a RFQ
- D. Run a restricted competition- send out a RFI
正解:A
解説:
The correct answer is 'run a restricted competition - send out a PQQ'. This Question: tests both your understanding of when to run open and restricted competitions (which is explained on p.75) and your understanding of tender documents. Mandy should run a restricted competition- there are a lot of options in the marketplace and this will allow her to pre-qualify those who best suit her requirements. Running an open competition when there are lots of suppliers would be too time-consuming- you need a way of making a short-list. When you run a restricted competition, the first stage is sending out a PQQ- pre-qualification questionnaire; this document is sent to suppliers asking for necessary information to support their qualification as an approved supplier.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) include items such as copywrite and trademarks. A buyer is considering entering into a partnership with their supplier to create a new product which will be released in two years' time. Should IPR be included into a contract between partners?
- A. No- a contract is not necessary if it is a partnership.
- B. Yes- IPR should always remain with the buyer- this will protect those rights
- C. Yes- IPR is a valid concern for both parties but will survive the termination of the agreement
- D. No- a separate legal agreement should be created to cover IPR
正解:C
解説:
The correct answer is 'Yes- IPR is a valid concern for both parties but will survive the termination of the agreement' (p.112). See the section on 'Legal considerations' in chapter 2.4
質問 # 139
Red Manufacturing work with around 40 different suppliers. One of these suppliers is Blue Business. Red Manufacturing order regularly from Blue Business, and have never had any issues with their performance.
The materials Blue Business supply are of low value and there are several other suppliers of these materials in the market. What type of relationship should Red Manufacturing seek to have with Blue Manufacturing?
- A. partnership
- B. adversarial
- C. arms-length
- D. single-source
正解:C
解説:
The correct answer is 'arms length'. This is a tactical purchase (as it is low value) and keeping the supplier at arms-length means that Red Manufacturing could possibly exploit them to reduce their prices (think back to the Kraljic matrix and where Blue Business would likely fall). A Partnership or Single- Source relationship requires investment into the relationship, and as the products are low value and Red Manufacturing have a lot of other suppliers, they should not be investing time in developing that relationship with Blue Business. An adversarial relationship wouldn't be advantageous as it may lower the performance of the supplier. See the relationship spectrum on p.5 - this is a hot topic for the exam

質問 # 144
George is running a competition to find a supplier to install solar panels on the roof of his factory. The energy this produces will power some of the machines. Cost is an important factor, but there are also other considerations that are important such as how long the solar panels will last, and the maintenance costs if they ever break.

- B. Only invite suppliers he knows will be able to provide good quality products which won't break

- A. A team of procurement experts

So in this example a Cross-Functional team could compose of people from various departments such as procurement, logistics, manufacturing and legal. P.76

- C. No, a tendering process is not required as there are few suppliers
- D. No, an emergency tender process is required due to the critical nature of the equipment
正解:C
解説:
If the market has few suppliers, an open tender is not appropriate, as it adds unnecessary time and cost.
Instead, a restricted or negotiated procedure is more effective. Open tendering is best used in highly competitive markets.
