The primary purpose of the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) is to stimulate Indigenous entrepreneurship and business development, providing Indigenous Australians with more opportunities to participate in the economy. PM&C is well positioned to support Indigenous business growth in its role to drive the Government’s agenda to grow our economy, incomes and jobs.
PM&C has developed an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Procurement Strategy 2021-24.
This Strategy represents PM&C’s commitment and approach to delivering IPP outcomes as well as contributing to achieving procurement related deliverables under the PM&C Innovative Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2021-24.
The Strategy focuses on:
- Leadership - Proactively leading and supporting IPP initiatives to increase the volume and value of Indigenous contracts within PM&C
- Behaviours - Increasing the awareness of the IPP and build capabilities to better enable Indigenous business engagement
- Communication - Sharing IPP outcomes, good news stories and information on supporting Indigenous businesses to reinforce the importance of PM&C delivering IPP outcomes
- Procurement Goals - Influencing procurement processes to support the growth of Indigenous businesses and economic sustainability.
