Responses and the state of a vendor response can be viewed whilst the request is active.
Note: If you have turned on response visibility before close - This is also where you will be able to view submissions as they are finalised.
Each submission will have a status that indicates the progress of the response:
Invited: Organisation has been invited, but has not yet created a response
Watching: Subscribed to the listing and has access to documents
Drafting: Response is being drafted
Submitted: Response is submitted
Withdrawn: Response has been withdrawn
If a vendor is in any state, except invited, they will receive notifications for updates to the listing, including an extension or updates.
How can I preview the listing?
If you want visibility over the vendor view, you can click on Preview Listing in the top right to view the listing that will be visible once they are invited.
