Notifying a Buyer that you intend to respond to a Request/Tender lets them know you're working on a response and provides them with relevant reporting data. You should use this feature when you need time to prepare an answer.

Prerequisites

• Audience: Supplier
• Permissions/Role: You must be a user with the appropriate permissions to view the Request/Tender.

Steps

1. Locate the Request/Tender you want to respond to.
2. Select the flag icon to the right of the Request/Tender.
   
   • The icon will turn green.
      

Results/Validation

A text notification will appear beneath the request, confirming that your intent to respond has been recorded. The Buyer now has access to reporting that shows your intent.

Limits & Notes

• To remove the flag, simply click the flag icon again; it will turn blue.
• If a Colleague has already indicated an intent to respond, their name will appear beneath the request.
• Declining to respond will supersede (override) the intention to respond flag.
