If Suppliers are invited to a Request or Tender and you do not want to submit a response, then you can choose to Decline to Respond.

Declining to respond notifies the Buyer that you will not be submitting a response. you will also have the option to leave feedback as to why you are declining.

Once you have declined to respond, you will no longer receive email notifications for updates/reminders regarding the Request/Tender.

To Decline to Respond, you will need to click the red X button that appears to the right of the Request or Tender.

A new page will then appear where you can select a reason for declining from the dropdown box and you can also provide feedback for declining to respond. You can click on Submit and Decline to confirm.

This moves the request or tender into the Archived Requests section, which is accessible by hovering over My Responses in the menubar.

You can reverse this decision to decline if you change your mind and would like to respond. There is information on how this is done here: Reversing a Declined Request.
