CIPS Exam L4M4 Topic 1 Question 20 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 20
Topic #: 1
[All L4M4 Questions]

When sourcing an item of strategic importance and high value in the public sector, is it important to advertise this publicly?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'yes- the public sector should advertise as a call for competition'. They do this in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). Public Sector has to be transparent about everything and treat all suppliers equally. So they can't just approach the ones they like.

In the study guide it says OIEU and this is a typo. It's OJEU.

Wow, this question is about as clear as mud. Maybe the exam writer should consider a career in interpretive dance instead.

B is the correct answer. The public sector doesn't deal with strategic items, they just buy paperclips and staplers, right?
