CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 4 Question 50 Discussion
Topic #: 4
Mandy is looking to source windows and doors for a new build apartment block. She has done some initial research and has discovered that there are many suppliers in the marketplace that can supply the items she needs. As it is a high-value project she is thinking of running a formal tender. What should be Mandy's first step?
The correct answer is 'run a restricted competition -- send out a PQQ'. This Question: tests both
your understanding of when to run open and restricted competitions (which is explained on p.75) and your understanding of tender documents. Mandy should run a restricted competition- there are a lot of options in the marketplace and this will allow her to pre-qualify those who best suit her requirements. Running an open competition when there are lots of suppliers would be too time-consuming- you need a way of making a short-list. When you run a restricted competition, the first stage is sending out a PQQ- pre-qualification questionnaire; this document is sent to suppliers asking for necessary information to support their qualification as an approved supplier.
