CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 4 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 16
Topic #: 4
[All L4M6 Questions]

A local council requires facilities management services for ten schools based in their region. This service is a high-spend, high-risk, critical contract. Which sourcing approach would be the most appropriate?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'Sudden changes in the marketplace' -- this is a reason a buyer would be reactive. Reactive is when something happens to you and it forces you to act in a certain way. The other options would be strategic rather than reactive. P. 163

D) Direct negotiation? Really? That's like trying to haggle with the school principal for a better cafeteria deal. Not the way to go here.
