The strategy focuses on helping businesses get 'match-fit' to secure State Government supply contracts before, during, and after the Olympic and Paralympic Games. For local businesses looking to be Games-ready, the government urges them to follow a simple three-step game plan: Ready, Set, Go! Ready: Businesses should ensure they are fully prepared by staying informed about supply opportunity updates. Registering for updates will keep them in the loop about potential contracts and collaborations. Set: As businesses align with the goals of the Buy Queensland initiative, they position themselves competitively to win supply contracts. Emphasising local expertise, products, and services can give them a head start. Go! Armed with readiness and a focus on Buy Queensland principles, businesses can confidently pursue and secure State Government supply contracts, making the most of the Games and its aftermath. The forthcoming Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Paralympics present an unprecedented chance for Queensland-based businesses to shine on the global stage.
