Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In the scenario, the value of contract as well as the importance of purchased item justify the procurement's travel. Visiting a supplier at their HQ or operational facility may facilitate the procurement team in assessing, albeit briefly, the culture of the organisation, how busy they seem and how staff engage with each other. A visit is a good opportunity to assess supplier's capacity.
