The Forward Procurement Plan (FPP) is an online portal that acts as a forward planner for businesses.

Agencies must plan for what they want to buy and let the market know their plans. This means more SA businesses know about upcoming opportunities and can get involved in supplying to government.

Agencies use the FPP to:

• communicate an intention to undertake a procurement valued above $55,000 (incl. GST)
• give an indication of the expected timing that the tender will open for bids- goods and services purchases for the next two years and major construction projects for the next three years

The information includes:

• a brief description of the need
• the type of tender process
• the likelihood of that tender proceeding
• email contact information for businesses to register their interest
