ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 Question 65
ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 65 of 80
Before sending an RFP to vendors who responded to an RFI, the organization must establish objective evaluation criteria — such as scoring standards and weighting rules — so that all vendors are judged consistently and transparently.
Why not others:
- (a) Giving extra credit to a familiar vendor outside of RFP criteria introduces bias and violates fairness principles.
- (c) Issuing unofficial agreements before vendor selection is premature and legally inappropriate.
- (d) Preparing a bailout for a high-scoring RFI respondent in case they lose is favoritism, not a fair process safeguard.
Key rule: Fair vendor selection requires establishing evaluation standards and weighting rules before the process begins, not during or after.
