Engaging an Aboriginal-owned business - for Government & Public Sector
As a majority First Nations-owned business, IPS can undertake work for the Federal Government agencies through direct approaches, under the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP), before going to market.
As well as being one of only 8 Indigenous-owned approved providers on the Management Advisory Services (MAS) Panel, IPS is also an SME with at least 50 per cent Indigenous ownership; therefore, as covered by Exemption 16, Appendix A of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, there is no limit to the procurement value of goods and services.
As of 1 July 2025, initiatives have been implemented into CPRs to encourage and increase government procurement of Indigenous businesses and SMEs – see Media Release.
