The ‘Stop Gammon Project’ – Black Cladding and Aboriginal Procurement Awareness Program is powered by Aboriginal Affairs NSW and the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce.
This program tackles the practice of black cladding where non-Indigenous businesses unfairly exploit Indigenous businesses to gain access to procurement opportunities. It raises awareness among procurement officers about the risks and aims to prevent such practices. It also focusses on the Aboriginal Procurement Policy, the intent behind it and how it can be utilised in the buying process.
Through training and support resources, the program ensures that Aboriginal businesses can compete fairly and benefit from procurement contracts.
