Voluntary Deactivation
- A firm has the option to voluntary deactivate themselves from SELECT for up to one year without any negative impact.
- The deactivation function is made available to prevent firms from being suspended if they are repeatedly non-responsive or decline to bid. The responses are tracked over a 24-month sliding window.
- Once the firm sets their "Voluntary Deactivation" status, a notification will be produced by the system and sent to the firm.
- A firm will be reinstated to its previous status when their "Voluntary Deactivation" status has expired or the firm changes the date. Another letter will then be sent to the firm.
