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

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

Yes, and unclear specifications can lead to confusion and potential issues, so it's important to have a bidding process in place.

I'm pretty sure the clear specification is the key here. Why would you not want a competitive tender when you have a clear idea of what you need?

A and D? That's a tough one. I guess they want us to go with the options that make the least sense for a competitive tender.

But what about when there is not a clear specification? Shouldn't that also be a reason to not complete a competitive tender?
