Businesses are encouraged to go for gold at the Brisbane 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the Queensland government urging businesses to make their bid with billions of Olympic and government contracts up for grabs.
The Q2032 website is now live and invites eligible businesses to get on Team Queensland. Tenders include everything from stadium stands, seating and even the Brisbane 2032 flags with more opportunities extending beyond the games. Supply chains, new housing, security, transport, catering, bed linen, technology solutions, essential goods and services all with the opportunity to improve infrastructure right across Queensland.
The nine year countdown has begun with government releasing its Q2032 Procurement Strategy with targets and policies to maximise the involvement of small businesses, First Nations business, regional/local business, and businesses with clean plans for lower emissions.
The strategy aims to help businesses get ‘match-fit’ to win state government supply contracts before, during, and after the Olympic and Paralympic Games. There are already more than 6700 supplier representatives on the Team Queensland register, so it’s best not to leave it too late.
Brisbane-based Thomas Pollock helps SMEs secure government contracts through his business Gov Ready. He says there’s never been a better time to put your business forward and win government work.
“The government needs the product or service at some particular stage and most small businesses don’t actually realise that. The government purchases a huge diverse range of goods and services more than anyone else.”
“It’s a case of businesses, small businesses in particular, realising that they can service a government contract. A lot of small businesses think they’re too small to service government contracts.”
“The average contract for the Queensland government is $60,000 and there are small businesses whose services it has contracted, so there is a huge opportunity there,” he added.
