Procurement is where leverage either compounds or evaporates. Procurement exists to make sure community purchasing builds local capacity, captures value, and meets the standards the community sets.
How we buy
Sourcing, vendor qualification, contract structuring, and ongoing performance management. Indigenous suppliers prioritized wherever they can deliver. Standards held high.
Transparency
Every contract is documented, reportable, and reviewable. Procurement is one of the most common places where trust breaks down — we run it so it doesn't.
