Treasury Minister Allan Bell has told the House of Keys that wherever possible, local firms will continue to get government contracts.
He was quizzed by MHKs on the issue, following a question from Onchan MHK Peter Karran about the tendering process.
Mr Bell was asked whether Manx companies should be preferred over United Kingdom rivals when the government needed work to be carried out.
He said there had been no change of policy and the answer was clear:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
DfE says schemes have been 'generally well received'
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
'Stand Up to Suicide' message continues to be spread
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
Meetings to be held in coming weeks following review
