INDIGENOUS BUSINESS STANDARD FOR "GOODS WITH RELATED SERVICES"
DEFINITIONS:
"Indigenous Business" means a business that is at least 51% Indigenous
owned and controlled and, if it has six or more full-time employees, at
least one-third of its employees must be Indigenous persons.
"Indigenous Business Directory" means a business directory of Indigenous
businesses that meet Manitoba's definition of an Indigenous business.
'Indigenous Business Standard" means terms and conditions that indicate
that Indigenous business participation is desirable but not mandatory.
"Indigenous Person" means a First Nations, Non-status Indian, Métis or

INDIGENOUS PROCUREMENT INITIATIVE:
Manitoba is committed to community economic development as a key
component of its economic strategy. It intends to develop a provincial

Procurement Initiative (IPI). The objective of IPI is to increase the
participation of Indigenous businesses in providing goods and services
to Manitoba.
INDIGENOUS BUSINESS STANDARD:
Indigenous participation is desired but bids will not be disqualified if

"Indigenous Business Directory". This directory is a list of Indigenous

exhaustive but may be a useful resource to identifying Indigenous
businesses for potential partnering or sub-contracting purposes.
Indigenous businesses not listed in the Directory may also be used.

certification as an Indigenous business, as business status may change;
therefore formal certification is required in the formal tender process.
