What is being defined here: 'The assessment of a potential supplier's capability of controlling quali-ty, delivery, quantity, price and all other factors to be embodied in a contract'?

Suggested Answer: B

Pre-contracting a supplier, the term 'supplier appraisal' is favoured by CIPS; whereas once the sup-plier is in use, 'vendor rating' is the preferred term for monitoring actual performance.
