INDIGENOUS PROCUREMENT INITIATIVE: Manitoba is committed to community
economic development as a key component of Manitoba's economic strategy.
It intends to develop a provincial economy that is more inclusive,
equitable and sustainable.
Procurement practices are one means that can be used to contribute to
the growth of Indigenous businesses. The objective of the IPI is to
increase the participation of Indigenous business in providing goods and
services to Manitoba.
INDIGENOUS BUSINESS STANDARD: Indigenous participation is desired, but
bids will not be disqualified if there is no Indigenous business
participation.
INDIGENOUS BUSINESS DIRECTORY:
Part of the IPI is the establishment of an Indigenous Business Directory
which can be a valuable networking tool. This directory is a list of
Canadian Indigenous Businesses (including non-profit organizations and
economic development corporations) that have self-declared as an
Indigenous Business.
