QPR - Prepare

A Quarterly Performance Report (QPR) is used to record the Indigenous workforce deployed on the contract during the reporting period and any subcontracts/purchases made with Indigenous businesses as part of the contract’s supply chain.

Generally, QPRs are prepared by contractors. However they can also be prepared by Agency contract managers and Agency IPP managers via the Indigenous Procurement Policy Reporting Solution (IPPRS).

To prepare a QPR, navigate to and open the required MMR contract record. If the report is due or overdue, a link to the contract will be in your To Do List.  If you want to commence entering data before the report is due, you will find a link to the contract in the MMR Contracts list. Click on the link to open the contract form.
