Have your Say on the Aboriginal Procurement Policy Review
The Northern Territory Government is undertaking a review of its Aboriginal Procurement Policy and Territorians are invited to have their say to help inform the delivery and direction of the policy for the next 3 years.
The Aboriginal Procurement Policy came into effect on 1, July 2022 as a targeted approach to increase opportunities for Aboriginal Business Enterprises (ABE’s) to participate in government procurement activities.
The Aboriginal Procurement Policy applies to all Northern Territory Government contracts with an estimated value of $15,000 or greater.
Building the capability and capacity of Aboriginal businesses and increasing the economic participation of Aboriginal people is critical to unlocking the full social and economic potential of the Northern Territory.
Aboriginal owned, Darwin based business consultancy, Janalki has been engaged to undertake the review.
Aboriginal businesses, Community Controlled Organisations, Territory businesses and Territorians are encouraged to provide feedback via the Have Your Say website.
The Have Your Say will include surveys and a discussion paper which will seek feedback on how the Policy has been received to date and provide an opportunity to suggest improvements.
Territory businesses and interested stakeholders are also invited to attend a round table discussion, either face-to-face or online.
