A Partnership with Des Nedhe Group

  • Contracting pathways for Indigenous‐owned suppliers

  • Capacity-building and skills development within regional communities

  • Revenue-sharing and shared-value models that support long-term Nation economic growth

  • Stronger ESG alignment for member companies seeking responsible and inclusive supply-chain practices

What Tamarack North Provides

• Aggregated GPO pricing across mining and industrial categories

• Regional supplier development and qualification

• Indigenous engagement and participation frameworks

• Logistics and remote-operations procurement support

• Contract governance, compliance, and performance management

• Access to Tamarack’s national supplier network and procurement technology

Our Purpose

Tamarack North enables mining and industrial companies to buy better, operate more efficiently, and invest meaningfully in Indigenous economic development, while ensuring that northern and remote communities benefit directly from the projects around them.
