Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

Request for quotations is often used when the only variable is price and the purchase value is under a financial threshold. This process is less formal than ITT. RFQ should be used in the following circumstances:

- Low-value, low-risk purchases

- When the specifications are sufficiently defined or the product/service is standardised

- Where the suppliers are pre-qualified

- Where there is a framework agreement which specifies the contract terms and conditions.

I'd go with C. Gotta cover your bases and make sure those pesky oral negotiations don't come back to haunt you.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards D. Avoiding long negotiations in the first place seems like the easiest way to prevent this issue.

But what if there are signs of misrepresentation from the other party? A seems important too.

I agree with Garry, prevailing orally negotiated terms over the final written contract can lead to confusion.

I'm not sure, but I feel like B might be the right answer. Shouldn't the orally negotiated terms prevail over the written contract?
