How would a buyer measure value for money from a relationship with a new supplier for goods?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

As an accountant, I'd say C is the way to go. It's all about that sweet spot between quality and price. *chuckles* Gotta keep the bean-counting boss happy, you know?

Auditing the supplier's promises, as in A, is a start, but it doesn't tell you the actual value you're getting. Gotta look at the real-world outcomes.

I believe the audit of how suppliers promise is also crucial in measuring value for money. We need to ensure they deliver on their promises.

D, quality and volume of goods, is a good consideration, but it's not the complete answer. We need to factor in the cost as well.

Option B, going for the lowest possible cost, is a common mistake. That doesn't capture the full picture of value.
