BuyRegional helps government and business to leverage procurement
to drive economic development & recovery.
BuyRegional is about leveraging existing operational procurement to deliver local economic development and job creation.
​
It's an initiative where Business and Government can get better value from buying they already do, and at the same time give local suppliers a fair go. That's all we ask. Because we know that when you give local Australian business a fair go to compete for projects, they often win, and they deliver.​
​
For most government and corporate organisations, a significant amount of their smaller projects and procurements are managed via email when staff "get 3 quotes". BuyRegional encourages organisations to leverage this spend, and instead of email use world class technology that helps them do discover local suppliers and include them in a competitive process.
​
In doing so, it helps drive economic development outcomes, captures powerful data, and helps reduce risk in procurement with transparency, governance and probity.
​
The BuyRegional initiative, and the technology it is based on, have won numerous awards for procurement innovation, procurement best practice, and economic development.

Place-based initiative for enabling practical local economic development
Unlocks your biggest opportunity
Reduce risk. Maximise impact.
Approximately 40-60% of procurement in most Government organisations is below tender threshold ($1,000-$150,000). Many corporates are similar.
This is typically decentralised and managed via email using a “3-quotes” process. This lacks transparency or reporting, presents significant risk, and is a missed opportunity.
These opportunities are the ones many SME’s really want.
Decentralised procurement presents a massive opportunity to REDUCE RISK by increasing transparency governance and probity, whilst also MAXIMISING IMPACT as a driver of local and regional economic development.
