Commonwealth Procurement Framework—2017 Inquiry
Access to foreign markets is extremely important for businesses that provide goods and services to governments.
The ECA strongly supports the Australian Government including government procurement in its past, current and future trade agreements.
Doing so offers major benefits with few costs. Australia already has open government procurement markets, meaning there is negligible impact on Australian
businesses competing for domestic contracts.
For exporters, it opens up new markets, enhances certainty in existing markets and provides the right of review for discriminatory conduct.
