Key Drivers of Economic Contribution from Procurement SUPPLY INPUTS Value of goods and supplies sourced from South Australian businesses EMPLOYMENT Number of South Australian jobs or labour hours INVESTMENT Amount of new capital expenditure in South Australia The physical location or the registered office of a business does not necessarily translate to economic benefit to the State. This is primarily through jobs, investment and supply inputs directly linked to the delivery of contracts on behalf of the South Australian Government Spending on Goods and Services is approximately $4 billion per annum & construction procurement is another $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion per annum 5
Key Drivers of Economic Contribution from Procurement South Australia has a sophisticated, but still relatively simple, appraisal of economic contribution. Procuring from locally-based suppliers and suppliers who source inputs locally maximises the amount of local labour and capital used, and therefore the amount of economic contribution being retained in South Australia. The South Australian Industry Participation weighting system that balances the economic benefit to the State as part of a holistic value-for-money assessment. 6
Lifting the Industry Participation weighting Prior to a decision to lift the weighting a merit assessment would be conducted to determine sectors of the economy where this would have benefit. To address high unemployment and to stimulate economic activity Import replacement Stimulation of a local industry sectors in decline Opportunity for skills transfer and technology exchange Opportunity to attract capital investment providing long term benefit to the State or a region In this case a scoring methodology would be developed to deliver the Government s objectives. 7
