Which of the following should be considered when calculating ratios relating to a supplier's liquidity?

  1. inventory
  2. reserves
  3. receivables
  4. profit

Answer(s): A



A buyer in the public sector has put an advert out asking for interested suppliers to express an interest in a potential tender activity to provide a facilities management contract to a hospital trust. The suppliers who have met that criteria are then sent a document detailing how they should submit their tender, how to price the opportunity, asks Questions relating to how they will deliver the service and gives a deadline for bids to be submitted.
Which document have the suppliers ben sent?

  1. Request for Quotation
  2. Invitation to Tender
  3. Invitation to Quote
  4. Request for Tender

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is an Invitation to Tender.
The only other real document listed in Request for Quotation. This is incorrect because the document asks questions relating to how they will deliver the service. This means price isn't the only factor, which is the case for a RfQ.
Request for Tender and Invitation to Quote are not real things.



Which of the following would you expect to find in an Invitation to Tender? Select THREE

  1. awarding body
  2. deadline
    (Correct)
  3. pricing schedule
  4. qualifications required
  5. risk assessments

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

An ITT would include details on the awarding body (usually a brief overview of the buyer), the deadline (bids must be received by a certain date) and qualifications required (such as ISO requirements or competency certificates of staff members if it's a service contract). You wouldn't find pricing schedules in an ITT (this would be provided by the supplier in response to the ITT), nor would you find risk assessments (a supplier might be asked to provide one as part of the quality assessment of the tender though).

in question 272 the right answer states that an autonomous acces point is "configured and managed by the wlc" but this is not what i have learned in my ccna course. is this a mistake? i understand that lightweight aps are managed by wlc while autonomous work as standalones on the wlan.

52 should be b&c. controller failure has nothing to do with this type of issue. degraded state tells us its a raid issue, and if the os is missing then the bootable device isnt found. the only other consideration could be data loss but thats somewhat broad whereas b&c show understanding of the specific issues the question is asking about.
