Supplier Services

I don’t understand how this works. Is it just selecting Suppliers who will be available to select at the ‘selecting suppliers and services’ workflow stage of a Quote Request project?
Not clear to me what the notes / radio button notes mean.

This is where the Service Provider can select the services that a Supplier will need to quote for on the Quote Request type.

In a Quote Request Project workflow, when the Service Provider selects Suppliers to send the Quote Request to, Suppliers providing the services set here will be listed as selectable options. The Service Provider is not limited to these Suppliers, however, other services / Suppliers can be selected when creating a Quote Request for a Customer.
