CIPS L4M6 Exam - Topic 4 Question 53 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 53
Topic #: 4
[All L4M6 Questions]

How would a buyer measure value for money from a relationship with a new supplier for goods?

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.

I’m a bit uncertain about this one. I feel like an audit of supplier promises could be important, but I’m not sure if that’s the main measure of value.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of quality over just going for the lowest cost. It seems like option C might be the right choice.

Auditing the supplier's promises is a good starting point, but I'd also want to look at their actual track record and see if they've delivered on what they said they would. That real-world data is key.

Lowest possible cost is definitely important, but I think you also need to consider the quality of the goods and whether the supplier can reliably meet your needs. Gotta find that sweet spot.

Hmm, not sure about this one. I'd need to think through all the different factors that could impact value for money, like delivery times, customer service, and the supplier's overall reliability.

As an accountant, I'd say C is the way to go. It's all about that sweet spot between quality and price. *chuckles* Gotta keep the bean-counting boss happy, you know?

Auditing the supplier's promises, as in A, is a start, but it doesn't tell you the actual value you're getting. Gotta look at the real-world outcomes.
