When you define Requirements, you can choose to specify a knockout value. This is the score below which a response is no longer considered acceptable. Once you apply the knockout values, the response is removed from the shortlist. It can be viewed, but not awarded. If any of the Requirement responses do not pass the knockout test, that response is removed from the shortlist. Note that in a Two-Stage RFQ, if any responses are removed from the shortlist during the technical evaluation stage, that response is not available for commercial evaluation.
