ABORIGINAL BUSINESS STANDARD

ABORIGINAL BUSINESS STANDARD FOR "GOODS WITH RELATED SERVICES"


DEFINITIONS:

"Aboriginal Business" means a business that is at least 51% aboriginal
owned and controlled and, if it has six or more full-time employees, at
least one-third of its employees must be Aboriginal persons.

"Aboriginal Business Directory" means a business directory of Aboriginal
businesses that meet Manitoba's definition of an Aboriginal business.

'Aboriginal Business Standard" means terms and conditions that indicate
that Aboriginal business participation is desirable but not mandatory.

"Aboriginal Person" means a First Nations, Non-status Indian, Métis or
Inuit person who is a Canadian citizen and resident of Canada.


ABORIGINAL PROCUREMENT INITIATIVE

Manitoba is committed to community economic development as a key
component of its economic strategy. It intends to develop a provincial
economy that is more inclusive, equitable and sustainable.
Procurement practices are one means that can be used to contribute to
the growth of Aboriginal businesses. In that regard, Manitoba developed
the Aboriginal Procurement Initiative (API). The objective of API is to
increase the participation of Aboriginal businesses in providing goods
and services to Manitoba.

ABORIGINAL BUSINESS STANDARD

Aboriginal participation is desired but bids will not be disqualified if
there is no Aboriginal business participation.

ABORIGINAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY

Manitoba has established a directory of Aboriginal businesses called the
"Aboriginal Business Directory". This directory is a list of Aboriginal
businesses (including non profit organizations and economic development
corporations) that have self declared as an Aboriginal Business meeting
that definition under the API. It is neither comprehensive nor
exhaustive but may be a useful resource to identifying Aboriginal
businesses for potential partnering or sub-contracting purposes.
Aboriginal businesses not listed in the Directory may also be used.

Registration in the Aboriginal Business Directory does not guarantee
certification as an Aboriginal business, as business status may change;
therefore formal certification is required in the formal tender process.

Aboriginal businesses are encouraged to register by contacting
Procurement Services Branch.

For further information on the aboriginal Business Directory,
registration forms and access to a copy of the Aboriginal Business
Directory please see the following website:
