Gov Ready Certification
Proving you’re ready to do business with government
Why It Matters
Selling to government isn’t just about having the right product or service. It’s about trust, compliance, and confidence. Government buyers need to know that the businesses they engage with are not only capable but also reliable, aligned with policy priorities, and ready to deliver.
The Gov Ready Certification provides clear, evidence-based assurance that your business has met recognised standards of compliance, credibility, and procurement readiness. For buyers, it reduces risk. For suppliers, it signals credibility.
What It Demonstrates
A Gov Ready Certified business shows government buyers that you are:
Compliant with insurances, WHS, privacy, and other policies.
Credibility backed by evidence of past performance, capability statements, and client references.
Procurement-ready; registered on portals, familiar with tendering, and actively engaged in supplier opportunities.
Aligned with Government priorities demonstrating commitments to sustainability, diversity, inclusion, and cybersecurity.
Active in the market; attending supplier briefings, submitting tenders, and building partnerships that strengthen your offering.
This means that when a buyer sees the Gov Ready Certification mark, they know your business has done the groundwork to supply government.
How It Works
Evidence Submission: You complete an online assessment covering compliance, procurement readiness, and strategic alignment.
Review and Assessment: Gov Ready assesses your submission against the certification criteria.

What Government Buyers See

The essential insurances and policies are in place.
The supplier has demonstrated capability in the government marketplace.
The business aligns with broader social and environmental procurement priorities.
This reduces uncertainty for government buyers and increases the likelihood of successful, low-risk partnerships.
