Queensland’s updated procurement policy is now in effect – and it includes a significant win for small and medium-sized businesses. The new Queensland Procurement Policy introduces a 30% SME participation target, meaning government agencies are now required to actively consider and engage small and medium enterprises when awarding contracts.
For MEA members running their own electrical businesses, this is a genuine opportunity to secure government work that may previously have felt out of reach.
What the change means for you
Government procurement covers a wide range of construction and infrastructure projects – many of which require licensed electrical work. With a mandated SME participation target now in place, electrical contractors of all sizes are encouraged to register as suppliers and actively explore tendering opportunities across state government projects.

The Queensland Government has made it straightforward to explore and take advantage of these opportunities. Here’s where to begin:
