We know the businesses. We know the Territory. We do the work.

NTIBN is the peak body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses in the Northern Territory. Through certification, regional hubs, Indigenous Enterprise Consultants, procurement tools, advocacy and events, we work with businesses from early ideas through to major commercial opportunities.

aLLY MEMBERSHIP AND BUYER TOOLS

Start with membership. Then give your procurement team the tools to find and engage Aboriginal suppliers.

Ally membership is for organisations willing to show practical commitment to Aboriginal supply chains, employment and communities. The Blak Business Directory helps buyers find certified suppliers. Procure Connect supports buyer briefs, supplier engagement and responses. Together they provide an accessible first step into NTIBN’s network

All working prices exclude GST. Tailored supplier mapping and procurement projects are scoped and priced separately. Onboarding and hands-on buyer support beyond the standard subscription are defined and costed in the agreement.

The Exchange
