Correct Answer: C

The 'firm and unequivocal offer' and 'the basis of a contract' indicate the reference to a formal and binding tender procedure. The answer is therefore 'invitation to tender'.

Correct Answer: A

If it's included with the goods, it's likely to be a delivery note; and the buyer's equivalent would be a goods received note.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

A mini-competition may be held to select a supplier, depending on the wording in the framework arrangement documentation and circumstances at the time.


Question No. 4

Correct Answer: D

This is about risk, and the answer is 'treat'.

Risk management strategies can be classified into 'the 4 T's', which you need to know for your ex-am.

Treating the risk is essentially seeking to minimise the likelihood or impact of the risk. An example might be to carefully monitor key suppliers' ongoing financial performance to minimise the likeli-hood of their going into liquidation during the course of a contract with us. Etc.


Question No. 5

a. What is the expression which describes such an arrangement?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The contract clause may refer to or include both gainshare and painshare elements. If all goes well, gains to be shared; if things go badly, pain to be shared. The ratio does need to be 5050 - the parties can discuss / negotiate as they wish / agree.

One is actively discouraged from talking about penalties, which contain a notion of punishment, de-spite the rather odd fact that your syllabus contains the term 'penalty clauses'.
