Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 24
Topic #: 3
[All L4M4 Questions]

Tulip Rose Industries is using a restricted approach to tendering for a new contract for the facilities management of their seven factories which produce furniture made of organic materials. What is likely to be the reason they are using a restricted approach?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

you would use a restricted approach when interest is likely to be high. The buyer needs a method of de-selecting unsuitable bidders and creating a shortlist of acceptable organisations.

For complex requirements you could use both an open or restrictive tender- the difference between the approaches is about how many bids you're likely to get rather than the complexity of it.

I'm going to have to go with A on this one. Restricted tendering is the way to go when you want quality over quantity. Kinda like choosing a gourmet restaurant over a fast-food joint.

Option B seems a bit harsh. Maybe they just want to keep it in the family, you know, like a furniture mafia.

But what if interest in the tender opportunity is low? Wouldn't that be a reason to use a restricted approach as well?

C is just silly. Who wouldn't want a piece of that furniture contract? Unless the pay is about as good as a lemonade stand.

I agree with Ettie. It makes sense to limit the tender to qualified suppliers due to the complexity of the requirement.

I'd go with option A. The facilities management of seven factories sounds like a real challenge. No point in opening the doors to just anyone.

A restricted approach makes sense when the requirement is complex. Anything less would be like trying to build a rocket ship with Play-Doh.

I think the reason they are using a restricted approach is because the requirement is complex.
