Local businesses who have less than 20 full time equivalent employees and a significant physical presence in the state’s eligible regions can register to participate in the Local Buying Program in that state.
Registrations are assessed on an individual basis in alignment with the Local Buying Program eligibility criteria. Once approved, suppliers will have the ability to access and respond to work opportunities (Work Instructions) in their state as they become available.
BHP / BMA / BMC employees can register at any time to use the Local Buying Program for their procurement needs. Buyers will be required to validate their registrations via their BHP email. Once registered, buyers can source goods and services from Local Buying Program suppliers by raising Work Instructions.
The Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP) has engaged the Industry Capability Network (ICN) to deliver an ICN Gateway Profile Improvement and EOI Workshop for businesses in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday region.
This session is designed to help local suppliers maximise their chances of winning contracts through the provision of advice and assistance on how to enhance their company profile and expression of interest submissions on the ICN Gateway.
