We’ve introduced Multi Party Evaluations (MPE) Declarations to streamline how you manage Conflict of Interest (COI) and Confidentiality agreements. When used, this new feature acts as a mandatory gatekeeper, ensuring evaluators agree to your terms before they can access sensitive supplier data.  This can be configured per evaluation at the Evaluators step 

Key Features:

• Mandatory Compliance Gate: Evaluators must review and respond to declarations (Agree, Disagree, or Agree with Comment) before viewing any tender responses.
• Automated Safeguards: Selecting "Disagree" automatically excludes the evaluator, while "Agree with Comment" flags the response for Buyer approval, preventing unauthorized access.
• Centralized Templates: Standardized templates can be added and set to apply automatically to all new evaluation requests.  
• Real-Time Oversight: Buyers can track declaration statuses (Accepted, Declined, Pending) directly from the Evaluators table.
• Audit-Ready Reporting: The full text of declarations, evaluator responses, and buyer approval comments are automatically included in the MPE Report.

Why it matters:

This update reduces manual compliance checks, mitigates risk, and provides a permanent audit trail for every evaluation panel.
