Explain which company you would award the contract to base on the weighted score card in table below.
正解：
解説：
A weighted score card is a tool with a systematic and a fair process for selecting supplier, based on predetermined criteria. This tool can help make the decision by presenting a fair display of how all suppliers did in the process. The values of these weights are based on their importance. The supplier with the highest score card is considered the most suitable to be awarded the contract.
In the table above, cost is considered more than all other criteria. Contract length is the lowest which is weighted 2 Base on the weighted score card as presented above, company B scored 78 while company A and company C scored 65 and 63 respectively.

Describe three ways that hidden cost could present themselves within the logistics operation
正解：
解説：
See the answer in explanation.
Explanation:
Hidden costs are costs that do not always present themselves at the onset of the project.
Logistics can provide a hidden cost within global sourcing. The movement of goods can generate risk within a localized supply chain, but the risk is greater within global sourcing. Within global sourcing there are usually many more aspects to the logistics operation, hidden cost associated with the logistics process includes,;1) delays that can be experienced after placing orders, 2) unclear and poor/incorrect communication that might affect the successes of the transaction, also 3) goods could be confiscated by customs for unseen reasons.

Describe the seven stages of the Tender Process and explain the reasons why the stages must be followed.
正解：
解説：
The purpose of the tendering process is to invite potential suppliers to bid to supply a product or service to the buying organization. Then buying organization select suitable suppliers, award con-tract and manage. The process is selected mostly when the need is a large or complex project or the law mandates it or it is in the company's policies to do so. The stages of the tendering process includes; Stage 1: decide which style of tender to use. There are four types of tendering used within pro-curement and this include; 1) open 2) Restricted 3) Negotiated 4) Competitive Dialogue Stage 2: Prepare invitation to tender (ITT): this stage is to prepare the document that will be made available to potential supplier. It should contain everything potential bidders will need to know to fully understand the need and to prepare and send a suitable RESPONSE it may likely in-clude; open letter, company details, overview of a project, evaluation criteria, submission date and so on.
Stage 3: send ITT: With fairness, transparency and equality, buyer will provide the documents to all potential suppliers at the same time and also provide exactly the same information/documents to all suppliers. If after receiving the ITT and some suppliers seek clarifications on anything in the documentation, buyers must give same response to identical questions to keep the process transparent and fair. Also, the response to each query to all bidders in the process.
Failure to this may result in bidders who feel disadvantaged or discriminated in any form to submit a legal challenge. Supplier submitting a Legal challenge may cause delay in the process and eventually increase administrative cost for the buyer.
Stage 4: Buying organization receives responses to the Invitation to tender from suppliers (bids). Suppliers must adhere to the bid submission dead line included in the invitation to tender document. Any bid that arrives after the deadline must be left out of the process, or else this may result to other suppliers legally challenging the process.
Stage 5: Evaluate bid. The buying organization can now evaluate the bids based on the criteria in the ITT document. It is always thorough that cross-functional team evaluates the bids to guarantee complete fairness and ensure that the chosen bid is fit for purpose. In evaluating the bids, the cross-functional team will consider the bids in the following areas; supplier organization, ethics, price, sustainability, quality, payment, disposal, service level, location, warranty and risk.
Stage 6: Award contract and give feedback hence the buying organization wards the contract to the winning supplier. This can take place by a formal communication like a letter or an e-mail.
Stage 7: Contract management. Contracts must be evaluated against the criteria in the invitation to tender.
The reasons why these stages must be followed includes;
1. Knowing the right TYPE of tender to use, reduces administration cost, for example, deciding to do restricted tendering to reduce the interest that are going to be sent in have already cut down on administrative cost.
2. The supplier can know what exactly the buyer's intentions are by developing description and the required specification.
3. To ensure that objectives of resorting to use the tendering style and the tendering process is achieved
4. To ensure that the organization generates added value by going through the stages.
5. To ensure that there are none unethical issues like fraud, bribes etc are not part of the system.
6. To ensure that the tendering process becomes transparent to all suppliers. These stages must be followed for transparency and fairness. Just like in stage 3: buyer send out the ITT to potential suppliers at the same time and providing them same information. Failure to this and bidders who feel disadvantaged or discriminated in any form may submit a legal challenge. Supplier submitting a Legal challenge may cause delay in the process and eventually increase administrative cost for the buyer.

Explain FIVE Environmental. Social and Governance (ESG) considerations for TechSpark Global when developing its sourcing approach for the new mineral.
(25 marks)
TechSpark Global
TechSpark Global (TSG) is a global consumer electronics company. It supplies 80 markets across four global regions. It supplies directly to electronic goods retailers.
TSG's unique selling point is its strong commitment to sustainable and ethical manufacturing, and sourcing practices in the electronics sector.
TSG has recently identified a new high-efficiency rare earth mineral which significantly improves the performance and lifespan of solar panels. TSG intends to use this new mineral as the basis for a new product range of solar-powered portable chargers.
Potential strong consumer demand exists for these eco-friendly and high-performance chargers, and TSG anticipates fast market growth for the new product. However, the company is conscious that the new mineral's supply base is primarily in countries where ESG issues arise. These issues include labour rights and conditions, environmental degradation due to mining practices, and the safety regulations of mineral processing plants which may also be problematic.
正解：
解説：
See the answer in explanation.below.
Explanation:
4.4 Explain FIVE Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations for TechSpark Global when developing its sourcing approach for the new mineral. (25 marks) When developing its sourcing approach for the new mineral, TechSpark Global (TSG) must consider ESG risks carefully because the supply base is mainly in countries where labour, environmental and safety issues are known to arise. This is especially important because TSG's brand is built on sustainable and ethical manufacturing and sourcing . OECD guidance for mineral supply chains says companies should use risk- based due diligence to identify, prevent and mitigate adverse impacts linked to mineral sourcing, while ISO
20400 says sustainability should be integrated into procurement decisions and processes.
1. Environmental damage from mining and processing
The first consideration is the environmental impact of extracting and processing the new mineral. The case already highlights possible environmental degradation, and this could include land damage, biodiversity loss, water pollution, waste generation and harmful emissions from mining and mineral processing. TSG should therefore assess whether suppliers have effective environmental controls, permits, remediation plans and monitoring systems in place. This matters because the final product may be marketed as eco-friendly, but that claim would be undermined if the raw material is sourced through environmentally harmful practices. OECD' s environmental due diligence guidance for mineral supply chains specifically addresses these kinds of environmental risks.
2. Labour rights and working conditions
The second consideration is labour standards across the supply chain. The case states that labour rights and conditions may be problematic in the source countries, so TSG should assess risks such as forced labour, child labour, excessive working hours, low wages, discrimination and unsafe working conditions. This is a major issue in mineral sourcing because OECD guidance identifies serious human rights abuses, including the worst forms of child labour and forced labour, as risks that companies should not tolerate or contribute to through their sourcing decisions. TSG should therefore require labour due diligence, supplier codes of conduct, audits and corrective action plans.
3. Health and safety in mines and processing plants
A third ESG consideration is worker health and safety. The case specifically mentions concerns about the safety regulations of mineral processing plants, which means TSG should assess whether mines and processors have adequate safety controls, training, equipment, emergency procedures and incident reporting.
This is important because poor health and safety standards can lead to injuries, fatalities, production disruption and severe reputational harm for TSG. In practice, if TSG ignores safety conditions at supplier sites, it could damage the company's ethical reputation even if the final product performs well. OECD responsible business conduct guidance covers human rights and labour-related harms in supply chains, including occupational risks that companies should address through due diligence.
4. Governance, transparency and anti-corruption
The fourth consideration is governance in the supply chain. In mineral sourcing, governance risks can include bribery, weak traceability, opaque intermediaries, financial crime and poor disclosure of source locations or business relationships. OECD's mineral guidance says companies should avoid contributing to conflict, serious human rights impacts and financial crime through their mineral sourcing practices. Therefore, TSG should build strong governance controls into its sourcing approach, such as supply chain traceability, supplier declarations, contract clauses, audits and escalation procedures. Good governance is essential because TSG operates across 80 markets, so any scandal involving corruption or opaque sourcing could quickly become a global brand issue.
5. Ongoing due diligence and supplier monitoring
The fifth consideration is that ESG should not be treated as a one-off supplier selection issue. TSG should develop an ongoing monitoring approach that includes risk assessment, supplier segmentation, performance reviews, grievance mechanisms and remediation where problems are found. OECD guidance for responsible business conduct says companies should carry out risk-based due diligence to assess and address actual and potential negative impacts in their operations, supply chains and business relationships. ISO 20400 also emphasises embedding sustainability throughout procurement rather than treating it as a separate issue. This is important for TSG because fast market growth could create pressure to source quickly, but that increases the risk of overlooking ESG failures unless monitoring is continuous.
Conclusion
In conclusion, TSG should consider five main ESG issues when sourcing the new mineral: environmental damage, labour rights, health and safety, governance and transparency, and ongoing due diligence and monitoring . These considerations are essential because the company's commercial opportunity depends not only on product performance, but also on maintaining its reputation for ethical and sustainable sourcing. A sourcing approach that ignores these ESG issues could expose TSG to reputational, legal and supply risks across multiple global markets.
