Discuss CIPS L3M3 Exam Topic 2 Question 46

Which of the following would not normally be part of data required by the buying organisation's contract manager?

AOther customer data

BTechnical data

CFinancial data

DPerformance data

Suggested Answer: A

Other customer data.

It would, I think, be very unusual for a contract manager to feel it appropriate to ask for information from a supplier representative about other customers. Business partners normally want their dealings to be private. However, in informal discussions, in the normal course of conversation, information is often transferred in a benign manner.

I’m confused about this one. I thought financial data was always essential, but now I’m wondering if it’s really about the context of the contract.

I feel like all options could be relevant, but I lean towards A) Other customer data being the least necessary. It just doesn't seem as critical for contract management.

I remember a practice question that asked about the role of contract managers, and it emphasized the importance of performance data. So maybe D) Performance data is definitely needed.

I think the answer might be A) Other customer data, but I'm not entirely sure. It seems like the contract manager would focus more on technical and financial aspects.
