I thought the aim was to streamline the process, but now I’m questioning if it’s really about ensuring value for money instead.

This reminds me of a practice question we did where the focus was on cost savings. I think that might relate to selecting the lowest price.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The policy seems to be about increasing competition, but I'm not sure if that's the primary aim. I'll need to re-read the question and the options carefully before making a decision.

Okay, let's see. The policy is about requiring multiple quotes for contracts over 10,000, so the aim is likely to ensure value for money rather than just selecting the lowest price. I'll go with option B.

The answer is obvious - it's to ensure value for money. Anything else would just be silly. Although, I do wonder if the procurement director has a secret vendetta against suppliers or something.

Ha! The procurement director must be trying to get the lowest price possible. That's the only reason to require multiple quotes, right?
