Exam L4M4 Topic 2 Question 72 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 72
Topic #: 2
Which award criteria can be applied when sourcing requirements from external suppliers?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Responsible award decisions should consider price and total life-cycle cost (TCO) to capture acquisition, operation, maintenance, and end-of-life costs, aligning with sustainability. Other items may inform due diligence but are not, by themselves, robust award criteria without being translated into measurable value and risk outcomes.
Reference: CIPS L4M4 Study Guide (v2): LO "Implementation" - evaluation and award; TCO and sustainability in criteria setting.
