4. Click on the green button start at the bottom right to start.
5. You can evaluate each question with the evaluation method displayed + a motivation, if any.
6. You have finished reviewing when you see the text in the last screen: This was the last offer to review. You can now close the screen.

## Allow/reject offers

2. Here you will see several tabs in which the statuses of the submitted applications are displayed. Click on the **Evaluation tab.**
3. Move your mouse over the name of a supplier. You will see that the Reject and Admit buttons become visible. Click on one of the desired buttons to perform the action.
  - Attention! A notification will automatically be sent to the supplier with the changed status. You can use **Messages and announcements** in the left menu to send the supplier a message with the motivation.

## Important

In a Dynamic Purchase System, there is a setting in the review settings that reviews are required from a single evaluator. This means that only one of the colleagues added to the evaluation team needs to evaluate an application. 


When a new application is submitted you will receive an e-mail notification here and you will see this at the top of your screen with your notifications.
