Using the Quick Select evaluation method allows you to evaluate the responses offline before entering your decision into the VendorPanel system and providing feedback to the suppliers who responded.

If you'd prefer to use another evaluation method (Evaluation Matrix or Multi-Party Evaluation), you can change your evaluation method at any time, see more information here: Changing the Evaluation Method.

1. You can view your responses by clicking 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.
   
   
   
   
2. Here, record your decision for each response by clicking the Select or Decline button to the right of each.
   
   
   
   
3. 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. You have the option of preventing an email notification from going out to the supplier after the request is finalised by ticking the checkbox below.
   
   
   
5. Once you have added your notes, if necessary, click the Save decision button at the bottom of the page.
   
   
   Please note

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

6. Repeat this process for each response you received. All responses must have a decision recorded before the request/tender can be finalised. You can select multiple successful responses, and you could also choose to decline all responses.
   
   
7. You can change a decision by clicking the Reset button against the supplier's decision. This clears your original choice and allows you to make a new one.
   
   

Once you have recorded your decision for all the responses, you can finalise the request. You can find information on finalising your request here: Finalising your Request or Tender. After finalising a request you cannot change or edit your decision.
