Exam L4M4 Topic 3 Question 104 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 104
Topic #: 3
Under what circumstances can a buyer reduce timescales for a tender in the Public Sector?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

If tenders are received by electronic submission exclusively, the buyer can reduce the timescale. On average the time for a standard tender submission can be reduced by 5 days if bids are submitted electronically.
*Note* this is based off current PCR Regs 2015 which are being superseded in October 2024 by new legislation. We currently don't know what the new regs will say on this. If it's different, my best guess is CIPS will remove any question about it from their exam- because the study guide would be wrong and that would lead to complaints.
