Who we are

C-Res is Australia's leading small, local, and Indigenous business procurement specialist. Our vision is to increase spend and business growth in small, local and Indigenous businesses; connecting small business to big business for sustained economic and social impact.

We deliver BHP’s Local Buying Program (LBP) and administer the Local Buying Foundation (LBF) in partnership with BHP. C-Res was first established in 2012 to deliver the LBP in Queensland for BMA and administer the LBF. Since then, the Program’s continuing success has seen it expand to all BHP Minerals Australia Assets, along with the Foundation in eligible communities across Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia. The Local Buying Program recognises the challenges experienced by smaller businesses to engage as a supplier to BHP, the LBP makes it simpler and easier for small, local and Traditional Owner and Indigenous Businesses to competitively bid for supply opportunities released by BHP and BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA). This innovative program strengthens business communities in which BHP operates in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia. The Program is delivered in a strategic partnership between BHP and C-Res – a cost neutral organisation.
