Use the Quick Select evaluation method to easily record your decision (Select or Decline) for supplier responses before officially finalising your request or tender in the VendorPanel - a Unimarket Company system. This is used when you evaluate responses offline.

Prerequisites

• You must have unlocked the responses to your request or tender.
• All responses must have a decision recorded before the request can be finalised.

Steps

1. View the Responses

   • Click the green people icon to the right of your request or tender.

     

   • You will need to have unlocked the responses before recording your decision. You can find information on viewing and unlocking responses here: Viewing the Responses to a Request.
   • Expected Result: The list of responses appears.

2. Record Your Decision

   • Locate the response you want to evaluate and click the Select or Decline button to the right of it.

     

3. Add Notes (Optional)

   • When selecting or declining a response, you have the option to add private notes or a message to the supplier regarding your decision.

     

   • Note: Declining a response provides an option to share your details with the unsuccessful supplier. This can be used to provide a contact for additional feedback.
     
     

4. Prevent Supplier Email Notification (Optional)

   • You have the option to prevent the email notification from being sent to the supplier. To do this, select the checkbox while making your decisions on the responses. This will ensure the supplier does not receive a notification after the request is finalised.

     

5. Save the Decision

   • Click the Save decision button at the bottom of the page.

     

   • Note: Clicking the button does not immediately notify the supplier of your decision. This only happens once the request has been finalised.

6. Repeat for All Responses

   • Repeat this process for each response you received. All responses must have a decision recorded before the request/tender can be finalised.

     

Results / Validation

You will see your recorded decision (Select or Decline) against each response. All responses must have a decision recorded before proceeding.
