When an RFQ contains sensitive information, buyers can require suppliers to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before accessing the full request details.
During RFQ creation, you can optionally turn on the NDA requirement. When enabled, configure the following:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| NDA Type | Unilateral (one-way) or Bilateral (mutual) |
| Language | English or French |
NDA documents are configured at the company level by your administrator. Contact your admin if the NDA template needs to be updated.
Suppliers invited to the RFQ cannot view the full RFQ details until they have signed the required NDA. They will see a summary of the request but all sensitive content remains locked.
From the RFQ dashboard, click the NDA button to view a list of all invited suppliers and their current NDA status:
When an RFQ requires an NDA, a lock icon appears next to it in your RFQ listing. Clear instructions indicate which type of NDA is required.
After uploading, your status changes to Pending while the buyer reviews your submission.
For more details on the supplier RFQ workflow, see Supplier RFQ Experience.
