Reviews of a procurement project carried out at key decision points by a team of experienced people who are independent of the project team. The process provides assurance to a project owner that their project can progress successfully to the next stage. Gateways have been designed to support projects that procure services, construction/ property projects and IT-enabled business change projects. The Gateway Review process in local government is managed by 4ps. Gateway Reviews 1 & 3 are mandatory in the BSF programme.
