Suggested Answer: D,E Vote an answer

Sourcing relates to identifying suppliers (E) and requesting quotations (D) as part of the market engagement stage of the procurement cycle. By contrast, creating call-off orders, raising requisitions, and goods receipting are post-contract operational activities. Responsible sourcing highlights that supplier identification and quotations are key to ensuring ethical, competitive, and compliant supply chains. These activities help ensure alignment with organisational goals, supplier diversity, and sustainability objectives.
