L4M4 Exam Topic 4 Question 31 Discussion:
Question #: 31
Topic #: 4
The procurement team received an urgent request from the business to source quotations forpest control services. The team decided to use a local newspaper to advertise the requirements. Was this an appropriate approach to use in the circumstance?
A.
No, because they might receive too many irrelevant proposals which may delay the assessing process
B.
No, because international vendors must also be notified of the opportunity
C.
Yes, they must seek as many bids as possible even if it takes longer
D.
Yes, so that the local pest control sector can decide between them who should bid
Advertising in a local newspaper for urgent services like pest control may not be the most efficient approach. It can lead to an overwhelming number of responses, many of which may not meet the specific requirements, thereby delaying the evaluation process. For urgent needs, direct sourcing from pre-qualified suppliers or using existing frameworks is often more effective.
