[All L4M6 Questions]

Which of the following are NOT one of the four key principles of procurement in the EU?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'no-the contract is not of significant value'. CIPS state that competitive tenders should only be used when 'the item or service is of significant value' p.73. Debbie could continue using the same supplier, but she should organise a contract extension or a new contract if she does.

Hmm, I wonder if the fourth principle is 'Efficiency'. You know, like not wasting resources and all that. Or maybe it's 'Sustainability'? This exam really keeps you on your toes!

Oh, I see. I guess 'Sustainability' is not included either.

Haha, I bet the correct answer is 'All of the above' just to trick us. These EU procurement questions are like a game of 'Guess What the Bureaucrats Are Thinking'.

Oof, this is a tough one. I'm pretty sure Transparency, Value for Money, and Non-Discrimination are the big three, but I'm drawing a blank on the fourth one. Proportionality, you say? Interesting...

Well, this is a tricky one. I remember Proportionality being mentioned, but I can't quite recall if it's one of the four key principles. Better double-check my notes.

Hmm, I thought the four key principles were Transparency, Value for Money, Non-Discrimination, and Fairness. But I guess Fairness isn't one of them.
