NT Procurement Reforms – Cutting Red Tape 

 As of 1 October 2025, the Northern Territory Government implemented procurement reforms aimed at making it easier for local businesses to work with government. 

 Key changes include: 

• Increased purchasing tiers: Tier 1 (to $50,000) and Tier 2 (to $200,000). 

• Streamlined direct purchasing from Territory enterprises for low-risk, readily available and commonly used goods and services. 

• Appointment of a Territory Procurement Champion to support local businesses and resolve complaints. 

 These reforms are intended to reduce delays, improve efficiency, and increase local business participation in government contracts.
