?? Exciting news for social procurement in NSW! The final two reports from the NSW Procurement Inquiry have been released. It's fantastic to see many of our recommendations reflected in these reports, as we'd contributed to the inquiry with a submission and formal evidence.? These reports bring significant improvements to how procurement is managed, with a strong focus on social enterprises, environmental sustainability, and supporting small businesses. The recommendations are set to make a real social and economic impact across NSW! ?? Here are some key takeaways: ?? Value for money: Expanded to include social outcomes like job creation, local industry growth, and sustainability. ?? Transparency: Lowering the contract disclosure threshold to $100,000 to enhance transparency in government procurement. ?? Support for SMEs: Removing barriers for small-medium enterprises and simplifying tender processes. ?? Collaborative tendering: Encouraging small businesses to team up for bigger projects. ?? Social procurement: Strengthening the Procurement Policy Framework and associated policies to achieve social procurement outcomes, including by:? ? setting specific targets for the procurement of social enterprises? ? considering how certification schemes could be adopted to ensure the procurement of businesses that achieve social impact? ? collaborating and consulting across relevant government agencies. ?? Post-award compliance: Ensuring social enterprises play a key role throughout contracts, not just at the start. ?? Supporting innovation: Boosting local business innovation through government procurement opportunities. ?? What does this mean for social enterprises and SMEs? This is a game-changer! The recommendations will make procurement more accessible, transparent, and impactful. We are excited to see the positive changes these will bring for local businesses and communities. Thank you to Social Enterprise Council of NSW & ACT (SECNA) who also contributed to this inquiry, and it's been great working together to grow the sector. ? The NSW Government has already committed to key actions, like expanding “Value for Money” to include social factors and lowering barriers for SMEs. This is just the beginning! ??

Having a pinch me moment today. Our burgeoning social enterprise, specialty coffee roaster, Pirate Coffee is getting traction out in the wild… As a marketeer, there’s nothing more thrilling than your customers, partners and community “crossing over” and making their own connections, creating their version of content for your brand. Last night whilst we were home having “Friday Family Movie Night” there was a very cool winter festival happening here in Port Stephens. A beautiful puppet show that included some beautiful whales, which yes, triggered one of our awesome retail partners to create some tribute content! “Wally” is our limited edition Port Stephens tribute coffee roast - it’s only available during Whale Season (May-Nov) as the whales migrate along the Eastern Coast of Australia. Feeling the gratitude and excitement…and yes, next year I might need to write some music for Wally and the puppets - “The Whale Song” - feels like a Nick Cave and Tourism Australia brief ??… #proudlyroastedinportstephens #coffeeroaster #community #content

We did a thing… Well, honestly, we’ve been rather busy doing a lot of things, but the work we’re doing together is something I’m especially proud of. For those of you who were early benefactor’s of Damo’s roasting in Singapore, to our coffee subscription customers, our Very Inportant Pirates and those of you who’ve helped support us more recently, we’re grateful to have you with us on the journey! A little idea becomes the catalyst for great change with the support of many. Our social enterprise, independent coffee Roastery, Pirate Coffee is making its way in the world. One good coffee and a good conversation at a time! If you’d like to be part of our story of change, please reach out. We’re particularly keen to talk to people who might be interested in having us host our “coffee + convo” sessions, or who might be looking to get their procurement team to consider purchasing good office coffee that does good! . . . #drinkgooddogood #proudlyroastedinportstephens #PR #goodcoffee

Not sure any of you have had the same stupid ideas as me, well I know quite a few of you have ;)... but to the point, 415km, Massive Murray Paddle over 5 days in November raising money for a really good cause! Good news: ? Own a Kayak ? Still need a paddle ? Registered and have a charity to support ? Haven't been in the water yet ? I've kayaked a lot (? but I was a kid) ? I'm motivated and have coffee power Our team is Hard Yaca and we are raising money for the Yacaaba Centre which supports counselling for youth, families and also supports people in high risk situations.
