Welcome to Gateway Activate
Gateway Activate is ICN Victoria’s supply chain activation engine; a bundled suite of advisory, digital, and marketing services built around the Gateway by ICN project page.
It helps you design and promote your project, attract the right local, social and sustainable suppliers, and manage supplier engagement from first announcement through to procurement.
At the centre of Gateway Activate is your Gateway by ICN project page: a centralised digital hub that clearly communicates upcoming project or procurement opportunities and connects you with capable local suppliers.
Around this hub, you gain access to experienced Industry Advisers, responsive customer service support, and targeted marketing that extends your project’s reach well beyond traditional procurement channels.
Say hello to smarter project and supplier engagement
Gateway Activate brings together technology, advisory support, and proactive outreach so you can more effectively plan, promote, and manage your project’s supply chain. It supports you to apply Local Jobs First and other procurement policies by helping you identify, understand, and engage local, social and sustainable capability at every step.
