I wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of

the land we are meeting on, the Turrbul people and pay my respect to the elders past, present

and to emerging community leaders.

I wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.

I would also like to acknowledge and welcome other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

who may be attending today’s event.

Government’s Journey

Shane Kennelly (Kennelly Constructions), Paul Kruspe (Assistant Commissioner ATO), Adam Kennelly (Kennelly Constructions) & Luke Carroll (MC 2016 Connect Gala Dinner)

Government Member of the Year: ATO at the Connect 2016 Supplier Diversity AwardsFirst 11 months Federal Government awarded 1070 Contracts worth $229m

This compares to $6.2m in 2012-13

Department of Defence leading the way in both number of contracts and by total value

Departments are looking at ways to package procurement opportunities so all levels of indigenous businesses can participate

Departments are using select tenders process for indigenous business

We have seen a change in attitudes from procurement teams which had perceptions that indigenous businesses didn’t have capacity or capability to deliver

We have had multiple successful Meet the buyers forums in Canberra where Federal Government Departments have opportunity to meet Indigenous businesses face to face

Corporate’s Journey

Corporate Member of the Year: Compass Group at the Connect 2016 Supplier Diversity Awards

Pre IPP

Prior to the IPP we seen Corporates requiring indigenous businesses to be certified by supply nation

Approximately 650 Registered RAPS since 2006 of which there are approximately 160 registered by Corporates

Reconciliation Australia reports that as at October 20153900 partnerships have been created and $32m Good and Services purchased from Supply Nation Certified Suppliers

Most RAPS to date tend to be focused on philanthropic or corporate social responsibility

Post IPP

We are seeing subcontract tenders on Government Project referencing the requirements for tenderers to meet IPP

We have seen corporates strategically aligning with indigenous businesses to tender for Government projects

Corporates and Government can provide procurement opportunities for Indigenous business from startup thru to more mature businesses

Replace Procurement models from Transactional to Partnership• Break down product or service into chunks• Use Supply Nation to find suitable certified suppliers• Examine the tender process for barriers• Decide on suitable evaluation criteria • Select the supplier and offer mentoring• Manage and support performance

MOVING TOWARDS PARITY

MOVING TOWARDS PARITY

Although relationship building is a part of almost all business partnerships , the relationship you start with an indigenous business has the ability to be life changing for individuals and possibly the entire community
