Correct Answer: B, D

Intracompany trading is when two departments in the same company do trading. AND when two companies owned by the same parent company do trading.

Question No. 2

Pierre is constructing a tender for a security contract. As well as cost, he would like to ask the security companies some questions about their health and safety processes and staff qualifications. He has created several questions and weighted these so that they add up to 25. is this the correct thing to do?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

weighted points systems for assessments should add up to 100. This is 100%.

An example is how this would work is

Price = 50%

Health and Safety questions= 30%

Qualifications = 20%


Question No. 3

Private sector procurement organisations should always allow suppliers at least 35 days to respond to invitations to tender. Is this statement true?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

Response times should be tailored to the complexity of the tender. Responsible sourcing encourages flexibility in setting realistic timelines that allow suppliers adequate time to prepare, supporting efficient and effective sourcing without unnecessary delays.


Question No. 4

The Freedom of Information Act is a piece of UK legislation which allows members of the public to request information on issues such as public sector sourcing. When a request is made, it is compulsory for the public sector to provide this information to the public. Is this statement true?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

the correct answer is 'no- the public sector can choose not to publish information if it is not deemed to be in the public interest'.

They use something called the 'public interest test' to determine if the information should be re-leased or not. For example they may not respond to a request asking how many bullets the UK Army has in storage, as that would be detrimental to national security interests.

Responses to requests are made within 21 days, not 28.


Question No. 5

What is a major benefit to using Incoterms when sourcing goods internationally?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

Incoterms can replace lengthy contract clauses as they replace the need for contracts to detail which party is responsible for organising transport, paying duties, having the insurance etc.

Incoterms is an odd one for exam topics- some students say it was a huge part of their exam and there were many questions on this. Others said there were just one or two. Questions get randomly assigned from the bank so it's completely random how many you'll get on this topic.
