Gateway Reviews are conducted before key decisions are taken in the procurement cycle (see Figure 1 a more detailed version).

As noted, Senior Responsible Owners from departments and agencies are expected to communicate with the Gateway Unit at least six to eight weeks before a Gateway Review for all medium to high risk projects to ensure that the correct resources can be assembled and that the pre-Review work is completed.

The Gateway Unit assembles the review teams for all high-risk projects. The Unit will seek departmental nominations of potential review team members to be trained for medium and high risk projects. When trained, these people are considered accredited for Gateway Reviews of medium and high risk projects across other departments and agencies.
