Under what circumstances should a competitive tender not be completed? Select TWO.

AWhen the items are of high value

BWhen the items are of low value

CWhen there is a clear specifications

DWhen there is not a clear specification

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is 'Conduct regular audits'. This is explained on p.153. You wouldn't do an appraisal on a supplier in a partnership relationship as both parties are equal. Threatening a partner isn't good for the relationship and a damages clause would be used in a contractual relationship rather than a partnership.

Hmm, let's see. When the items are of high value, you definitely want a competitive tender. And when there's no clear spec, you definitely want a competitive tender. So I guess the answer is C and D - do the opposite of what makes sense!

Okay, let's think this through. A competitive tender is all about getting the best value, right? So it's gotta be B and D. High-value items need the competition, and unclear specs mean you need that bidding process.

Hah, this is a tricky one. Somebody's trying to trick us, I bet. I'll go with D and B, just to be safe.
