WA Industry Link Portal launched
April 10, 2018 at 1:29 PM
The WA Industry Link Portal is a key component of the McGowan Labor Government’s Jobs Law that will assist local businesses to secure work on government contracts.
As well as acting as a central online information source for businesses to maximise supply to the State Government, the Portal will also:
- Provide an avenue for local industry to share feedback and seek advice, helping to ensure the State Government tender and contracting processes remain open, accountable and transparent; and
- Provide information and resources to help streamline the tender, contracting and reporting processes to make it easier for local businesses and agencies to fulfil the requirements placed upon them
As part of the Jobs Law, prospective suppliers of government contracts will be required to submit local participation plans as part of their tender. These will require suppliers to provide information on levels of local business engagement as well as the jobs, apprenticeships and traineeships that will be created and retained.
Pilot projects are currently being rolled out on the system, with the new system to be rolled out in full in September.
