Fee for Service
Tactic is an independent, member-driven organisation that accelerates the connection between local suppliers and major project proponents, supporting them through supply chain integrity.
With strong industry ties, we provide valuable regional insights to businesses and all levels of government, solidifying our reputation as experts in connectivity.
With over two decades of experience, Tactic has built deep relationships with the people, businesses, government and communities of the Upper Spencer Gulf, Far North, Eyre Peninsula and beyond. Simultaneously, we’ve earned the respect of major project proponents and government bodies through careful analysis of industry data and accurate reporting of project requirements and developments.
Our independent advocacy and connectivity work balances impartiality with optimism for regional growth, forming lasting connections that benefit all. Tactic grew from the very community it now serves.
Working
in the
Regions
Working with regions as large, diverse, and interconnected as the Upper Spencer Gulf, Far North and Eyre Peninsula is complex.
Tactic specialises in simplifying this complexity, minimising friction, and reducing the effort required to facilitate effective collaboration between suppliers and the region, ensuring projects achieve their objectives. With projects often characterised by lengthy development timelines and relatively short execution phases, it is essential to identify what constitutes ‘fit-for-purpose’ local content as early as possible in the planning process. Tactic supports this crucial phase.
Understanding Practical Possibilities: Tactic assists in exploring what is realistically achievable. If regional suppliers are unable to meet a project’s requirements for services, quality, or scale, this is acceptable—provided decisions are guided by clear processes and well-communicated rationale.
‘If Not, Why Not’ Framework: This principle ensures that decisions are based on procedural fairness, transparency, and trust. By promoting quality engagement and equitable processes, alternative solutions can be confidently explored.
Achieving the Best Outcome: Tactic is committed to helping projects deliver the ‘optimal possible’ outcomes for the region, the project itself, and Tactic’s members.
By turning challenges into opportunities for meaningful collaboration, Tactic enables stakeholders to achieve impactful results.
Why Local
Content Matters
While local content is commonly an obligation for major projects, it is more than that. Local content is a value amplifier and a cost effective, sustainable and resilient supply chain option.
Investing in local content can:
- Enable value creation for multiple stakeholders concurrently
- De-risk project developments
- Provide projects with a competitive advantage
- Increase cost efficiency
- Enable operationalising Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes
- Enable the stakeholder and community trust that underpins project support
Connectivity is the key to enabling coexistence between sectors, projects and regions.
Tactic serves as a strategic partner, delivering a tailored, fit-for-purpose approach to navigating and working effectively within the regions.

Connectivity in Practice
In many cases, local content can match or even reduce costs compared to group procurement models, while delivering additional benefits such as local employment and other region-specific outcomes.
Coordinating the landscape: in the regions, with the regions.
Tactic possesses extensive, well-established networks within the regions, which can be leveraged to enhance a project’s reach, consultation efforts, communications, and integration with host communities and neighbouring projects.
