Supplying Local Government

Empowering Indigenous businesses and transforming local council procurement to drive community prosperity

Local governments play a vital role in the economic development of their regions. The NSWICC Supplying Local Government program bridges the gap between local councils and Aboriginal businesses, fostering long-term relationships that deliver sustainable outcomes for local communities. This program operates with a dual focus, supporting both the buyer and the supplier.

For Local Governments

We work directly with local councils to build their organisational capability to attract, engage and retain certified Indigenous suppliers. We provide guidance on transforming procurement policies and practices to ensure they are inclusive, equitable and designed to drive sustainable regional economic outcome.

 

For Indigenous Businesses

We equip Aboriginal businesses with the practical tools, knowledge and direct connections needed to confidently engage with local government procurement opportunities across New South Wales. Through targeted capability building, we help businesses become 'tender-ready' for local council contracts. By bringing councils and Indigenous businesses together, we are building a collaborative ecosystem where local economies grow and our communities thrive.
