Question 11

Royal Naval Hospital at Rockstown, Anyport manages a fleet of nine ambulance vehicles. During busy periods, it becomes very difficult to keep track of the location of each ambulance (and the nature of their journey). Continual problems lead to the proposal for a new control system (ERNS).

For this ERNS project, the procurement department has drafted a specification in which only a bullet point list of basic requirements was written down. The procurement manager understands that the specification should be developed more specifically but a cross functional team from the Hospital could not do that. A senior buyer suggests that some of Hospital's pre-qualified suppliers could support them in developing the specification.

Which of the following should be a priority approach of procurement department in developing dialogue with those suppliers about specification development?

Options:

A.

Internal discussion

B.

General networking

C.

One-to-one meeting with the suppliers

Request for quotation from the suppliers
