Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 7

Robbie is a procurement manager at a public sector organisation. He is running a tender which is worth 2m and so will advertise this on OJEU. His manager has reminded Robbie to include CPV codes on the tender. What purpose would this serve?

ATo ensure suppliers know the deadline for tender submission

BTo ensure suppliers can find the opportunity

CTo ensure more suppliers bid for the tender

DTo ensure only qualified suppliers bid for the tender

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

CPV codes help suppliers find opportunities they can bid for. CPV codes are a numerical classification for products e.g. Strawberry Jam is 15332296 and when they are included on a Tender, any supplier who is registered with that same CPV code will get a notification that the tender is live. CPV codes are discussed on p.72 but not in much detail- so don't worry if you don't know much about them. So long as you know the above, you'll be fine.
