CIPS L4M6 Question Answer

Within a supplier's terms and conditions, they have a 'mutual termination for convenience' clause, which requires either party to provide 30 days' notice. Before the buyer signed the agreement, a procurement colleague recommended that the buyer should request this be amended to 90 days' notice. Was this amendment the correct thing to do?

Yes, as this will allow the buyer enough time to mobilize a new contract

Yes, as the buyer will then be responsible for providing additional business to the supplier

No, as this will be in breach of statutory contract law requirements

No, as this will guarantee a hostile end to the buyer-supplier relationship
