Since 2009, Supply Nation has worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, along with procurement teams from government and corporate Australia to help shape today’s emerging and rapidly evolving Indigenous business sector into a prosperous, vibrant, and sustainable sector.
Supply Nation partners with its paid membership of government, corporate and not-for-profit organisations to develop procurement policies that modify, and redirect spend to include the traditionally underutilised Indigenous business sector.

The primary purpose of the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) is to stimulate Indigenous entrepreneurship, business and economic development, providing Indigenous Australians with more opportunities to participate in the economy.
Prior to the implementation of the policy, Indigenous enterprises secured limited business from Commonwealth procurement. The policy is intended to significantly increase the rate of purchasing from Indigenous enterprises.
How the IPP works:
Exemption 16 of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules allows portfolios to procure directly with Indigenous small to medium size enterprises, provided the enterprise can demonstrate value for money.
The success of the IPP is measured by:
Since 2015, the IPP has performed well against these KPIs, generating over $5.3 billion in contracting opportunities for Indigenous businesses. This has involved over 35,763 contracts awarded to more than 2,140 Indigenous businesses.
