Responding to a request can be an involved process and can take time. Notifying a Buyer that you intend to respond gives them an indication that you are working through a response and gives you the peace of mind that they know that you are working on one.

To notify a Buyer, select the flag icon to the right of the Request/Tender.

The icon will turn green and text will appear beneath the request to notify you that your flag has been recorded against the request. The Buyer then has reporting available to them which surfaces data against the request identifying any Supplier who has indicated they will respond.

To remove the flag, simply click on the icon again which will turn it blue.

In the event that a Colleague has indicated that they intend to respond to the request, you will see their name beneath the request.
