Exam L4M4 Topic 1 Question 224 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 224
Topic #: 1
A procurement manager who works in the public sector has received 8 submissions to a tender op-port unity that was advertised on OJEU. The average price submission for the contract was £1m but one supplier has submitted a price of £200,000, which the procurement manager has identified as being 'an abnormally low tender'. What should be the procurement manager's course of action?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

You should investigate automatically low tenders by clarifying the bid with the supplier. It could be they have misunderstood the requirement. Or the bid could be genuine and they can really provide best value for money.
But without enquiring, you just don't know.
