Question 81

Which of the following will be included in a conformance specification?
1. Brand names
2. Description of the operating environments
3. Chemical formulae
4. Required safety level

Correct Answer: D
According to CIPS, there are two main types of specification:
- Conformance specification - is more output driven as it outlines the product details exactly which may include the material, dimensions, tolerances, source, ingredients, packaging, storage of the part or material.
- Performance specification - is more output driven in terms of what the part or material must achieve.
Among the four options, only 2. 'Description of the operating environments' and 3. 'Chemical formulae' are possible components of a conformance specification. Brand names can be a part of a performance specification, according to a document published by CIPS and NIGP.

Question 82

Which of the following are the conditions for revocation of offer to be valid?
1. The offeree has not received the offer yet
2. Revocation of offer must be communicated with the offeree
3. Revocation of offer must be sent via email
4. Offeree has not accepted the offer yet

Correct Answer: A
A revocation of offer is the withdrawal of a previous offer to engage in some sort of legally binding contract.
The previous offer had to have been such that it would have immediately become legally binding if the other party had formally agreed to it.
A core ruling defining revocation of offers was established by Payne v. Cave. This case established that neither party is bound to an agreement until an offer has been made by one and formally accepted by the other.
If an offer has been made, the offering party has a right to withdraw it up to formal acceptance by the offeree.
Revocation basically serves as formal, legally verifiable notice that a withdrawal was made, and it's valid so long as it is communicated to the offeree before they accept.
The case of Byrne v. Van Tienhoven supports this by establishing that the withdrawal of an offer by telegram is only valid if the telegram is received before the offer is accepted. The case of Dickinson v. Dodds further establishes that the party making the offer can communicate the revocation through a third party.

Question 83

According to rule of contract formation, which of the following is a valid acceptance?

Correct Answer: A
Once a valid acceptance takes place, a binding contract is formed. It is therefore important to know what constitutes a valid acceptance in order to establish if the parties are bound by the agreement. There are three main rules relating to acceptance:
1. The acceptance must be communicated to the offeree.
2. The terms of the acceptance must exactly match the terms of the offer.
3. The agreement must be certain.
Among the answers:
"The person says that she will think about it overnight" does not match the terms of the offer. The offeree does not assure that she will accept the offer.
"The person asks for a lower price": This is a counter-offer.
"The person states that she is able to pay the offered price" is not certain. The offeree merely provides information on her financial ability.

Question 84

Northern Province Authority (NPA) seeks to use market dialogue to improve the contract specification for a new procurement tender of a domestic waste collection contract. Which of the following topics would be appropriate for dialogue with potential suppliers?

Correct Answer: D
Early market dialogue is used to explore supplier capabilities and gather ideas, particularly in complex or innovative services. Discussing service innovation with suppliers helps the buyer shape better specifications and outcomes. Topics like pricing and contract terms should remain within formal procurement stages to ensure fairness.

Question 85

Consequences and actions that arise from certain KPI scores must be...? Select TWO that apply.

Correct Answer: A,C
Supplier performance management and monitoring is a fundamental part of contract management. It starts with setting KPIs, targets and consequences or actions that arise from KPI scores. The measures, objectives and targets used in the monitoring of the supplier's performance must reflect those that were agreed when the contract was let. That is why it is important to specify a commitment to continuous improvement at the outset. It would be unfair to the supplier to suddenly introduce a range of measures after the contract had begun - however if such an introduction mid-term through the contract is unavoidable then it should be negotiated and agreed in a professional manner and not merely imposed on the supplier.
In conclusion, the details of how KPIs will be monitored and the actions or consequences resulting from scores achieved must be documented and agreed between the parties. This details may be embedded in the specification or the main body of the contract or it may be set out in a SLA.
