Topic #: 10
[All L4M6 Questions]

Danny is procuring a new IT software, which he doesn't know much about. He has done a bit of research on the internet but is still unsure how much he can expect to pay. What should be Danny's next step?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Danny should issue a RFI (Request for Information). His next step would be to find out more about the products available by asking suppliers for information- this will help him put a spec together before he goes out to tender. The other options mean; RFQ - request for quotation- when you ask suppliers to submit a price. ITT- Invitation to tender -- a document you send out to suppliers which details all the information about the tender (this usually involves both price and quality components of assessment). OJEU- Official Journal of the European Union- where tenders for the Public Sector are published. For more info on RFI see p.74

RFI, RFQ, ITT... it's like a secret language of procurement! Danny should just ask the software vendor directly, 'How much for this thing?'

ITT? More like 'I'm Totally Terrified' of this software purchase. RFQ is the way to go, my friend.

OJEU? What is this, a secret code? I'd go with the RFQ. Keep it simple, Danny!
