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

I disagree, I believe we should embed a term excluding all prior oral discussions.

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?

I think the answer is C. Including a term that excludes all prior oral discussions not mentioned in the final written contract is the best way to avoid conflicts.
