CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 9 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam

Question #: 10
Topic #: 9

Debbie is a procurement manager at a small manufacturer company. She had a contract in place with a company that provides uniforms, but finds that she doesn't need to order much from them as the staff re-wear the same clothes to work. The contract has now expired. Should Debbie do a Competitive Tender to source a new contract?

AYes -- the contract has now expired so she must do a new competitive tender

BYes- competitive tender is the only option to procure uniforms

CNo- the contract is not of significant value

DNo- Debbie should continue using the same supplier- it doesn't matter that the contract has expired.

Show Suggested 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.
