Which of the following is a typical criterion used in vendor prequalification?

Project manager's personal preference

A government agency is starting a large infrastructure project and wants to ensure only qualified vendors are invited to submit full proposals. The procurement team plans to issue a request for information (RFI) to gauge vendor capabilities. What is the primary purpose of this prequalification step?

To finalize the contract terms with a chosen vendor

To select the lowest-cost vendor for the project

To shortlist vendors that meet minimum financial and technical criteria

To gather detailed technical solutions from all interested vendors

A project manager is evaluating a business case for a new product line. The case shows a strong return on investment (ROI) of 25% and aligns with the company's strategic goal of market expansion. However, the case also identifies a significant risk: the product relies on a single supplier for a critical component, and that supplier has a history of delivery delays. The steering committee must decide whether to approve the project. What should the project manager recommend?

Reject the project because the supplier risk is too high

Defer the decision until the supplier's delivery history is fully audited

Approve the project but require a risk mitigation plan for the single-supplier dependency

Approve the project without any conditions since the ROI is strong

When evaluating a business case, what is the primary factor to consider?

Alignment with organizational goals

The project manager's experience
