Supporting Queenslanders through the Buy Queensland approach to government procurement.

The Buy Queensland approach comprises the Queensland Procurement Strategy 2023 – Jobs, Economy, Legacy, Confidence (QPS) and Queensland Procurement Policy 2023 (QPP). Introduced in 2017, Buy Queensland uses the power of procurement to provide goods and services while creating positive change in Queenslanders’ lives.

Recognising that ‘value for money’ is more than just the lowest price, Buy Queensland uses public spending to drive the government’s economic, ethical, social and environmental objectives that support Queenslanders.

Buy Queensland aims to create and support strong, resilient and innovative Queensland communities by:

  • fostering quality local jobs
  • supporting local businesses
  • encouraging local manufacturing
  • encouraging innovation and diversity
  • ensuring ethical practices
  • protecting our environment
  • generating regional growth.
