An amicable style approach to ending a buyer-supplier relationship would be most appropriate in which of the following circumstances?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

CPV codes help suppliers find opportunities they can bid for. CPV codes are a numerical classification for products e.g. Strawberry Jam is 15332296 and when they are included on a Tender, any supplier who is registered with that same CPV code will get a notification that the tender is live. CPV codes are discussed on p.72 but not in much detail- so don't worry if you don't know much about them. So long as you know the above, you'll be fine.

Ah, the age-old question of how to break up with your supplier in the most awkward yet polite way possible. I'd go with option D - it's the business world's version of 'it's not you, it's me.'

D is the right answer, no doubt. I'd hate to burn bridges, especially if I have to work with this supplier again or if they have a stellar reputation in the industry.

I'm going with B. An amicable style is important when you've had a positive relationship in the past or if you might need the supplier's services again in the future.

Option C makes the most sense to me. When the relationship is ending due to performance issues or strategic changes, an amicable approach can help preserve future opportunities.
