Which of the following shall help the purchaser control the selection of tier 2 suppliers?

ASubcontracting clause

BWarranty clause

CGuarantee clause

DInsurance clause

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When a party takes on a contractual obligation, they are legally required to perform the obligation.

That same contracting party is still entitled to subcontract out the work to another service provider, unless the contract:

- is a contract for personal services, such an employment contract

- contains an express term preventing subcontracting out the work, or an implied term

Subcontracting clauses are written to control whether the contractor is entitled to subcontract, and how purchaser shall control that subcontracting process.

- Subcontracting clauses (delegation of contractual obligations to third parties)

I believe the warranty clause is more about product quality assurance, not supplier control.

But what about B) Warranty clause? Doesn't that also help in supplier control?

I agree with Lizbeth, because the subcontracting clause allows the purchaser to control tier 2 suppliers.
