This page is mainly for WA Government agencies but contains some information for businesses.
WA Government agencies: Before registering an account or logging into the WAIPS Portal, agencies must check if the Western Australian Industry Participation Strategy (WAIPS) applies for the planned tender. If the total contract value exceeds the figures outlined in the table below, WAIPS requirements will apply.
See the supply thresholds below.
Businesses: When WAIPS applies, prospective suppliers must complete and submit a participation plan as part of their bid. To learn more, visit WAIPS requirements and WAIPS information for businesses.
See the supply thresholds below.
