Option to Retain Requirements in New Round
When creating a new round, you can now select to retain the requirements. If you uncheck the option to retain requirement, then none of the previous round requirements are copied to the new round. This gives you flexibility to skip including requirements that are already answered and scored.
The suppliers can now only focus on providing pricing info on the lines in the new round. You can always view the previous round's requirement scores of the suppliers during award analysis and approval, and make an informed award decision based on previous round scores and new round pricing.
