Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

Request for quotations is often used when the only variable is price and the purchase value is under a financial threshold. This process is less formal than ITT. RFQ should be used in the following circumstances:

- Low-value, low-risk purchases

- When the specifications are sufficiently defined or the product/service is standardised

- Where the suppliers are pre-qualified

- Where there is a framework agreement which specifies the contract terms and conditions.


LO 1, AC 1.1

RFQ, huh? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'Beg for the cheapest deal'! But I digress, I think B and D are the winners.

Haha, RFQ? More like 'Request for Quotation Headache'! But seriously, I'd say B and D are the best answers here.

I agree with Dorothy, A and D make sense because RFQ is all about price and pre-qualified suppliers.

A and D are definitely true. You want to pre-qualify suppliers, and price is the key consideration in an RFQ. The other options seem a bit iffy to me.

I think B and D are true. RFQs do require technical proposals, and price is usually the main factor. But I'm not sure about the administrative burden compared to tendering.
