CIPS L5M3 Exam - Topic 2 Question 62 Discussion

Posted by Walton on Mar 07, 2026 at 02:20 PM

Tutu Incorporated has a contract with a software company to provide their IT software. They want to ensure that the supplier pays compensation if there are any issues with service (e.g. the software doesn't work for a day). Which two items would Tutu Incorporated need to include in the contract?

Suggested Answer: C, D

They should include service credits and a service level agreement. Service Credits allow the buyer to claim back if the service drops below an agreed standard. That standard needs to be clearly out-lined in an SLA. See p.31 for more details
