Exam PMP Topic 2 Question 279 Discussion

Actual exam question for PMI's PMP exam
Question #: 279
Topic #: 2
You are currently performing the Select Sellers process. You are considering two bids from companies on your qualified sellers list. Your project is on a tight budget, and you have been instructed by senior management to consider the cost over any other criteria. You used the company that submitted the lower bid on a previous project, and you were not happy with their work. The company that submitted the higher bid has a reputation for treating their clients well, flying project managers first class and giving them accommodations in five-star hotels. What is the BEST way to handle this situation?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

There are a few really important ethical issues in this question. Your senior management was clear about the rules: go with the lowest bidder. And that's what you should do. But on top of that, you shouldn't choose your sellers based on perks that you'll get - that's called a bribe. And you should always refuse bribes.
