Get Involved & Drive The Western Sydney Economy

I am pleased to advise that WSBC is working in partnership with the Department of Industry on a Western Sydney procurement project as part of a steering committee of major stakeholders in Western Sydney seeking to harness procurement opportunities in the region.

We are reaching out for your assistance. 

Outlined below I have included a bit of background on the project and how the project will work towards sustainable procurement for the sustainability of local business. We want to encourage a higher percentage of company procurement funds to be spent in Western Sydney with local suppliers and in turn grow the Western Sydney economy.

The first part of the project is to create a directory of companies that procure products and services in excess of $5m with some detail on their procurement needs. This directory will then assist Western Sydney businesses when pitching for these goods/services. It will also increase awareness by large organisations of local SMEs and their capabilities, and ultimately create a Western Sydney supply chain where appropriate. (A similar project in the Hunter Region was extremely successful and we hope to better this in Western Sydney!).

WSBC and the Department of Industry would like to know if you are able to participate or if you could recommend companies based in Western Sydney that would complete a quick 10 min survey.

We will keep you informed of stage two in the process, which will include a series of procurement workshops and master classes.

The project will work on many levels and benefit both large organisations and SMEs. Ultimately your involvement will assist us in developing future programs to enhance the Western Sydney economy and future jobs growth.

I personally hope you are able to get involved and very much look forward to hearing from you.

If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.
