Faisal is a medical equipment maintenance services procurement specialist within a local hospital. Faisal is responsible for ensuring contracts are in place that will ensure operational continuity of high-value pieces such as radiology equipment. When carrying out tender opportunities for these services, Faisal will specify, as an essential requirement, that certain standards are adhered to. Which of the following is a benefit of incorporating standards as a requirement within a specification?

AStandards provide clear guidelines and remove the risk of ambiguity

BStandards will mirror the buyer's requirements in its entirety

CStandards will ensure suppliers meet all the buyer's requirements

DStandards will ensure low pricing is submitted in the tender response

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, C

The correct answers are; suspiciously low labour costs, workers living on site and poor quality products (as this signals that the workforce may be unskilled).

A low score on the CPI is a good thing (high scores are more likely to signify slavery concerns) and just because someone speaks English as a second language doesn't mean you automatically need to be suspicious. That would be prejudice.
