Buy Queensland 2023
Buy Queensland 2023 is the latest evolution in the Buy Queensland approach to government procurement. It has a firm focus on building on the achievements of Buy Queensland and the procurement investment opportunity for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, supporting quality, local jobs, boosting the Queensland economy, and leaving a legacy for current and future generations of Queenslanders.
Buy Queensland 2023 commenced on 1 June 2023 and is made up of the Queensland Procurement Strategy 2023 – Jobs, Economy, Legacy, Confidence (QPS 2023) and the Queensland Procurement Policy 2023 (QPP 2023). The QPS 2023 and QPP 2023 work as one—the strategy sets the context and future direction, and the policy details the ‘how’ to get there. Both have been streamlined, making them easier to read and apply.
