ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 53 of 100

Evaluation standards should be prepared before selecting a supplier — predefined criteria make competing proposals comparable and the award decision transparent.

The standards can assign weights to price, technical capability, quality, delivery schedule, support, risk, and compliance with requirements. Establishing them in advance reduces arbitrary judgment and helps select the proposal offering the best overall value.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) a communication management plan governs project information after or during project organization

- (b) a test case verifies system behavior rather than selecting a delivering party

- (d) a project charter formally authorizes a project and records its high-level purpose and authority

Key rule: Supplier selection needs stated requirements plus objective evaluation criteria prepared before proposals are scored.
