Welcome to the online help for the Indigenous Procurement Policy Reporting Solution (IPPRS). The IPPRS is designed to support Commonwealth agency staff to manage and report on contracts that are subject to the requirements of the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP).
Note: As of 22 October 2020, the IPPRS will be upgraded to use a new look and feel. Whilst the functionality remains the same, there are significant changes to some of the forms and dialogs. The form screenshots in the Help Guide will be progressively updated to reflect this. In the meantime, please use the embedded system help, available by clicking the ? icon found at the top right-hand side of each page of the IPPRS. Should you require additional assistance with the new forms, please contact us via the IPPRS Help Desk.
IPP Overview
The purpose of IPP is to leverage the Commonwealth’s annual multi-billion procurement spend to drive demand for Indigenous goods and services, stimulate Indigenous economic development and grow the Indigenous business sector.
The IPP was launched on 1 July 2015 and has three main parts:
- A target for the number of contracts to be awarded to Indigenous businesses by the portfolios.
- A mandatory set-aside for all remote contracts and contracts valued between $80,000 - $200,000.
- Minimum Indigenous participation requirements for high-value contracts awarded in certain industry sectors.
The following systems manage the reporting requirements of the IPP:
- the Indigenous Procurement Policy Reporting Solution (IPPRS)
- the Indigenous Procurement Policy Contractor Portal (Contractor Portal)
It is recommended that you read the topics on IPP Systems and Getting Started before using the IPPRS.
