Suppliers will be notified of the extension to the Expected Decision Date. You can confirm the new date is visible on the Request.

Limits & Notes

  • You can set the initial Expected Decision Date when creating the Request on the Submission Dates tab.
  • You can edit the date as many times as you like while the Request is still open.
  • Once the Request is closed, the Expected Decision Date can be extended a maximum of three times.
