Currently if you set a maximum character count against a free text question in a sourcing event the maximum character count is displayed.
However, when a supplier is completing the question as part of their response they have no visibility of how many characters they have 'consumed'.

Could you look at developing a 'remaining characters' functionality which clearly displays this information for suppliers.

We are currently running a large tender with nearly 100 potential responders and this query has been raised by a number of them.
