Question 12/72
A buying company concludes the request for proposal (RFP) process and signs a contract for its primary logistics provider. Company policy requires that the supply manager notify and debriefall unsuccessful bidders. During these debriefings, one of the bidders-Supplier X- states that it will offer a price discount lower than that of the successful bidder. Supplier X's proposal is very strong, and the firm has a track record of success with the buying company. Given this situation, which of the following is the BEST course of action for the supply manager to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rejecting Supplier X's offer (Option C) is the best course of action. Once a contract has been awarded through a formal RFP process, reopening or renegotiating after the award undermines the integrity of the procurement process and can lead to legal and ethical issues. Escalating to executive management (Option A) or withdrawing the award (Option D) could disrupt established procurement protocols and fairness. Reopening the RFP (Option B) would compromise the transparency and fairness of the initial process.
