Queensland Procurement Policy Opens Doors for Local SMEs

Government contracts have long been seen as the domain of large corporations, but a recent policy update is changing that picture for businesses right here on the Gold Coast.

Queensland Procurement Policy Opens Doors for Local SMEs

Queensland's updated procurement framework is creating genuine opportunities for local businesses seeking government work. The Queensland Procurement Policy sets a 30% small and medium enterprise participation target for government contracts, putting local, small, and family businesses at the front of the queue.

For Mudgeeraba and Gold Coast SMEs, this signals a meaningful shift in how government spending is directed. If your business delivers goods, services, or construction work, now is the time to register on Queensland Government supplier portals and ensure you're ready to respond — this policy could open a significant new revenue channel.

If you're not yet registered as a Queensland Government supplier, this is your prompt to act. Connect with fellow MCC members who may have experience navigating the process, and keep an eye on the QTenders portal for upcoming opportunities. The Mudgeeraba Chamber of Commerce is here to help connect local businesses with the resources and networks they need to grow — reach out to us or attend an upcoming event to find out how we can support your next step.
