Description

The practice test was written by the Procurement Study Buddy and contains carefully crafted questions and answers based on the content of the study guide - these are not actual passed questions from real CIPS exams as these are no longer issued by CIPS and would be an infringement of copyright. It serves as a revision only and not intended to be an exact replica of the live exams but it will at least highlight which learning outcomes you are strong on and which ones you may need to revised more on. Who this course is for:

  • Learners who are taking the CIPS Exams for L4M4 Ethical & Responsible Sourcing (2023 Syllabus).

  • Learners who wish to pass the CIPS Level 4 exams - Diploma in Procurement and Supply.

  • Learners who want to gain confidence in passing the exams by practicing the syllabus.

  • Anyone who wants to know more about procurement in general.

In any organisation, a significant element of procurement and supply activity is based around decisions to internally conduct activity or to source from an external supplier. The selection of the optimal external suppliers is a vital contributor to overall organisational success. This module enables professionals with roles in procurement and supply to formulate sourcing strategies and selection criteria to ensure that the organisation can make the best choice of external suppliers. This module explains options for sourcing, and examines the key processes that can be applied to the analysis of potential external suppliers to ensure sourcing arrangements meet sustainable, environmental, social and ethical goals.

On completion of this module, learners will be able to explain the options and associated processes available for sourcing with external suppliers. They will also examine the legal and ethical impact and the implications of sustainability, encompassing economic, environmental, social and governance factors on the final sourcing decision.
