The APP Practice Guide helps WA Government agencies meet targets set out in the APP.
The APP mandates progressive targets for the award of WA Government contracts to Aboriginal businesses and, effective 1 December 2023, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) and applies to all contracts valued at $50,000 and above (including GST and all extension options). The targets apply to all WA Government agencies when purchasing goods, services, community services and works. Government Trading Enterprises have also been invited to apply the targets.
Aboriginal participation requirements will also apply to suppliers on certain government contracts. These suppliers need to meet an Aboriginal employment target or an Aboriginal business subcontracting target. Information provided in this guide will assist agencies to implement these requirements in applicable contracts.
An Aboriginal participation model clause that can be adapted for applicable works tenders is available below. Applicable community services and goods and services procurement templates have been updated and are available on WA.gov.au.
Agencies are required to complete Agency Aboriginal Procurement Plans (AAPPs) and submit them to the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) as part of the Strategic Forward Procurement Plan process. DTF has developed a template and guideline to support agencies with the development of their AAPPs.
