CIPS L4M6 Exam - Topic 3 Question 47 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam

Question #: 47
Topic #: 3

An amicable style approach to ending a buyer-supplier relationship would be most appropriate in which of the following circumstances?

A1 and 2

B1 and 3

C3 and 4

D1 and 4

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

CPV codes help suppliers find opportunities they can bid for. CPV codes are a numerical classification for products e.g. Strawberry Jam is 15332296 and when they are included on a Tender, any supplier who is registered with that same CPV code will get a notification that the tender is live. CPV codes are discussed on p.72 but not in much detail- so don't worry if you don't know much about them. So long as you know the above, you'll be fine.

I vaguely remember that an amicable style is best when both parties want to preserve the relationship, but I’m not confident about the specific options.

I've got a strategy - I'll read through the options and think about which situations would require a more collaborative, friendly ending to the relationship.

Okay, I've got it! The correct answers are B and D. random.randint(5, 11) and random.randrange(5, 11, 1) will both generate a random integer between 5 and 11, inclusive. I feel confident about this one.

Ah, the age-old question of how to break up with your supplier in the most awkward yet polite way possible. I'd go with option D - it's the business world's version of 'it's not you, it's me.'

I'm going with B. An amicable style is important when you've had a positive relationship in the past or if you might need the supplier's services again in the future.
