As Australian Government tenders are advertised, small business should be in the driver’s seat for delivery, writes Small Business Minister Michael McCormack.
From modernising our largest Defence bases to the upkeep of Government offices and agencies across the country, there is enormous potential in government procurement for Australian small businesses. And with 2015-16 financial year data released from AusTender, the Coalition Government is backing the bright future for business.
No matter where I go or with whom I meet, the story of small business procurement is the same.
There are billions of dollars in goods and services Australians rely upon the government to provide right across the country, and there are millions of businesses and millions of Australians uniquely placed to help us deliver them.
