Sydney First Nations Procurement Forum

The LGP First Nations Procurement Forums are designed to bring together local government and First Nations businesses to connect, share experiences and create real procurement opportunities.

These events will introduce LGP’s First Nations Procurement Strategy and new procurement scheme, while opening up practical conversations about how councils can work more closely with Indigenous suppliers.

Through panel discussions, interactive sessions and networking, the forum focuses on breaking down barriers, increasing participation in local government supply chains and supporting stronger, long-term partnerships.
