From 1 February 2024, the Ethical Supplier Mandate (the Mandate) applies to the procurement categories of General Goods and Services, Information and Communication Technology, Medical, Social Services and all future procurement categories under the Queensland Procurement Policy (QPP).
The Mandate reinforces Queensland’s commitment to ethical and sustainable procurement practices, ensuring that suppliers comply with ethical standards and maintain fairness in their dealings with government entities.
What Does This Mean for Suppliers?
Suppliers across these procurement categories will need to meet the requirements set out by the Mandate to continue doing business with the Queensland Government. This includes adhering to ethical standards in labor practices, supply chain transparency, and demonstrating a commitment to responsible sourcing.
