PRINCE2-Practitioner Exam - Question 283

During the initiation stage, ABC Company's project manager contacted a specialist external consultancy and asked them to provide a quotation for the 'e-learning course'. This triggered the 'starting up a project' process for the external consultancy. As a result, the consultancy's project manager responded to the request for proposal stating that the 'e-learning course' work package will be a simple project from their perspective.

Is this an appropriate response to the request for a proposal by the external consultancy, and why?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The response from the consultancy is appropriate because, in project management, the supplier's 'starting up a project' process should indeed occur before the contract is agreed. This ensures that the supplier has performed an initial assessment and planning phase to understand the scope and requirements of the project. By doing so, they can provide a well-informed quotation and response to the request for proposal.
