The procurement team at Grape Juice Limited often use a weighted point system when ap-praising potential suppliers.
What is a disadvantage of using a weighted point system?

정답:

Question No : 4


In the Public Sector, what is the evaluation criteria most often used when evaluating bids from suppliers?

정답:
Explanation:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) is the Public Sector's go to evaluation criteria.
NOTE that this is changing from October 2023. Public Sector Procurement is currently based on legislation called PCR 2015 which itself is based on EU Procurement Directives. Now the UK has officially Brexited, we're making our own laws and the new Procurement Bill will be coming into effect in November 2024. One of the major changes is that MEAT is changing to MAT (most ad-vantageous tender - without the economical bit).
If you're sitting this exam until July 2024- you're fine- learn what the study guide says. If you're taking the exam from November 2024 I'm not sure what students are expected to do. The entire section on public sector procurement is incorrect for you. My best guess is CIPS may remove questions this section as the study guide will be wrong, but I really don't know how they plan to handle this.

Tendering is a more formal and regimented process than sending out requests for quotations.
Which of the following are services that are often put out to tender? Select THREE.

Explanation:
security, consultancy and cleaning are services which are often tendered as they tend to be high value and complex opportunities.
Office supplies and raw materials have less variables so you could use a RFQ for these instead.

정답:
Explanation:
An ITT would include details on the awarding body (usually a brief overview of the buyer), the deadline (bids must be received by a certain date) and qualifications required (such as ISO requirements or competency certificates of staff members if it's a service contract). You wouldn't find pricing schedules in an ITT (this would be provided by the supplier in response to the ITT), nor would you find risk assessments (a supplier might be asked to provide one as part of the quality assessment of the tender though).
