Haha, annual formal tendering for suppliers? That sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare, not a delegated strategy. Gotta go with B, C, and F on this one.

B, C, and F are definitely the key features of a delegated sourcing strategy. Glad they're testing our understanding of this concept.

I'm not sure about E. I think D could also be a feature, as formal tendering processes can be part of a delegated sourcing strategy.

I agree with Alverta. Having the burden of coordination removed, coordination by the purchasing department, and emphasis on low costs are key features.
