Meet Your Victorian Social Procurement Framework (SPF) Targets with Merriwa

If your business holds a Victorian Government contract, you may have a social procurement obligation.

Merriwa can help you meet it while getting world-class co-packaging done.

Victorian Social Procurement Framework (SPF)

The Victorian Social Procurement Framework (SPF) requires government suppliers to direct a portion of their spend toward social enterprises, Aboriginal businesses, and businesses that employ people with disability. Many suppliers are unaware of this obligation or unsure how to satisfy it.
