Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 271

You are the business analyst for your organization. You've believed that your solution can actually be purchased from outside vendor rather than trying to create the solution internally. You decide to ask the vendor to provide a fee for their services based on the statement of work. What document will you give the vendor along with the statement of work?

Answer options

• A. Request for quote
• B. Contract terms
• C. Request for proposal
• D. Purchase order

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Request for proposal, as it is the document typically used to solicit proposals from vendors. A Request for quote (A) is usually used for specific pricing requests, while Contract terms (B) are conditions of an agreement, and a Purchase order (D) is a document to formalize a purchase, not to solicit proposals.
