ℹ️ What is a Gating Step?
The sourcing organization may include a gating step in your sourcing project. This step requires you to agree to specific terms or conditions before accessing more project details. These conditions often cover contracts, guidelines, or project scope.
📍How to access the Gating Step
If present, the gating step is the first thing you’ll see when entering the project. It must be completed before moving forward.

✅ Review and Complete the Gating Step
Review shared information
You’ll be asked to review the terms, requirements, or conditions, either as documents or within the gating step itself. Please read these carefully as they are essential for participation.
Accept / Decline
After reviewing, decide to agree or decline:
✔️Agree
By agreeing, you legally accept the terms and gain access to the full project, including documents, bid sheets, questionnaires, and descriptions.
✖️Decline
It is important to note that declining the terms is irreversible(!). Once you decline, you will no longer be able to participate in the project or access any further information related to it
If you have questions, contact the sourcing manager for clarifications on project specific questions.
