Assess Response to Request for Further Information

This mandatory action is triggered by the applicant submitting a response in SPEAR to a Request for Further Information. The requester is given the opportunity to assess whether the response supplied by the applicant satisfies all of the requirements set out in the request.

A negative response (i.e. that the request has not been satisfied) will return the mandatory action to the applicant to 'Add Response to Request for Further Information' and the cycle of assessment will begin again.
