Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP)
Australian Government policy requiring Commonwealth agencies to direct a portion of procurement spend to Indigenous-owned businesses, set against published value and volume targets.
Commonwealth policy administered by the National Indigenous Australians Agency that requires non-corporate Commonwealth entities to source a share of their procurement from Indigenous businesses. The policy sets a volume target (a percentage of contracts by number, currently 3 percent of contracts) and value targets that have grown over successive years toward the current target of 4 percent of Commonwealth contract spend. A Mandatory Minimum Indigenous Participation Requirement (MMR) applies to relevant contracts valued at $7.5 million or more in selected industries, requiring 4 percent of subcontract value or workforce to be Indigenous. Indigenous businesses must be at least 50 percent Indigenous-owned and verified, typically through Supply Nation. For buyers, sourcing from a registered Indigenous business such as Birak counts toward IPP value targets and supports the policy's intent of growing Indigenous economic participation.
