Selling to the Western Australian Government
Selling to government is governed by policies and guidelines which are overseen by a number of government departments including the Department of Industry and Resources, the Department of Treasury and Finance and the State Supply Commission.
Buy Local Policy
The Buy Local Policy is a Western Australian State Government Policy. It aims to maximise supply opportunities for competitive local Western Australian industries when bidding for State government contracts. Refer to State Supply Commission for further information.
The Policy supports other government initiatives to attract new investment, encourage employment creation and growth to stimulate sustainable industry development within Western Australia.
This policy requires Western Australian government agencies to recognise "local content" in bid evaluations.
Government Tendering
The Department of Treasury and Finance's Gem Tendering website contains a range of functions to make the process of tendering for Government contracts transparent and efficient. The site includes the WA Government Contracting Information Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board is the central source of information on Western Australian public sector tenders and awarded contracts. The information provided excludes Government Trading Enterprises (GTEs).
Western Australian government departments use the Bulletin Board to advertise their public tenders and publish all their contractual awards, including sole source purchases over $20,000.
Refer to Gem Tendering for further information.
