    This is a brief guide on how to view, submit, respond to, and publish questions on a tender.

    Note: Before following this guide, you must have created and published a tender. You can find instructions for creating a tender, inviting suppliers, and publishing a tender in the links provided in the sidebar.

    To view supplier questions & provide answers:

    1. Click the questions and announcements card to go into the questions and announcements module

    3. You will be presented with a pop-up window where you can enter a response in the ‘Answer’ text box and save your changes. It is also possible to edit the question, especially in case a supplier has unintentionally revealed their identity. Reformulating the question helps ensure the supplier's anonymity and protects them from any potential disadvantage in the tender process.
