# 4.2 Activating a Company Contact Account

### **Activating a Company Contact Account**

**Vendor/Client Gateway: Activating a Company Contact Account** Once a Company has created an account through the **Vendor/Client Gateway**, the Company Contact's account needs to be activated in order for the Contact to be allowed to submit Contract Requests (if your organization has enabled this feature) and respond to Solicitations, both Public and those only displayed on the Gateway. 1. Upon creation of a Company Contact account, the e-mail address specified to be alerted on new Gateway account creations will receive an email. ![Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/4.2-activating-a-company-contact-account-image-0jpvacs4.png) 2.
