CIPS Exam L4M4 Topic 3 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 3
[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.

Option D seems a bit strange. Freedom of Information Act? That's not really the right way to advertise a strategic procurement, is it?
