Procurement & Supplier Information
Strategic Procurement
The Queensland racing industry has a significant statewide footprint, generating more than $2.5 billion in annual value added contribution and supporting 13,994 full-time equivalent jobs. Racing Queensland (RQ) uses procurement to deliver positive outcomes for communities across the state while supporting its mission of connecting Queenslanders through great racing, events and the love of our animals.
Racing Queensland is repositioning procurement from a transactional business function to a forward-looking strategic procurement and supply function. This approach aligns sourcing activities with operational priorities, strategic plans and the broader reform agenda, including improved animal welfare and enhanced financial sustainability across the sector.
Racing Queensland Procurement recognises the importance of strategic supplier relationships in building partnerships, mitigating risk, driving innovation and delivering value for money. It also considers environmental, economic, social, local and regional Queensland outcomes in line with purposeful public procurement objectives.
Racing Queensland operates within the Queensland state government’s overarching procurement framework, led by the Queensland Procurement Policy (QPP). The QPP establishes a clear vision for achieving positive procurement outcomes that support a sustainable and prosperous future for Queensland.
Racing Queensland’s Procurement Team supports the business to ensure that all sourcing activities comply with the Queensland Procurement Policy.
