CIPS L4M6 Supplier Relationships (Updated 2026)

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 L4M6 Supplier Relationships (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 the procurement and supply function is based around decisions to source activity from external suppliers. Once agreements have been established the relationship established with the supplier is paramount to overall success. At its highest level outsourcing can take the form of a partnership or joint venture. This module is designed for those who have responsibility for maintaining and managing relationships with stakeholders and suppliers and for those who may be faced with establishing and developing formal partnerships.

On completion of this module, learners will be able to analyse the dynamics of supplier relationships, examine the processes and procedures for working with stakeholders and appreciate the concept of partnering.
