Do firms submit fewer tender bids with high inflation? An analysis of firms’ participation in public procurement in the EU

Purpose This paper aims to explore the effect of sustained high inflation on public procurement participation in the European Union, both in terms of the average number of bids submitted and in the proportion of bids by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) out of all submitted bids. Design/methodology/approach Regression modelling, using contract award notices in the Tender Electronics Daily database between 2018 and 2022, at quarterly intervals. Findings Each inflation point increase is associated with a decline in the average number of offers received per tender by 0.43%. A more marked reduction of 8.6% in the average number of offers and a decrease in 3.4 percentage points in the SME participation rate are observed for firms operating in sectors that experienced very high levels of inflation (>20% year-on-year rate of change), compared with a situation of low inflation (0–5%). Social implications Claims about difficulties in delivering public contracts for the set price should be taken with a grain of salt, unless businesses operate in sectors experiencing very high inflation levels. Measures to foster competition could also reduce price pressures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to quantitatively assess the association between high inflation and public procurement participation. Two methodological novelties are introduced: the operationalisation of sectoral-level inflation down to two-digit NACE codes, based mainly on producer prices; and a matching between two-digit NACE codes for inflation and the common procurement vocabulary codes to classify calls to bid for public contracts by economic activity.

Collaborative relationships: a stimulus for innovation culture and participation of SMEs in public procurement

PurposeThe role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in stimulating economic growth and innovation underscores the crucial need to understand the factors that influence their participation in public sector markets. Drawing on network theory, this research delves into the interaction effect of innovation culture and collaborative relationships on SME participation in public procurement. It assesses how collaborative relationships can serve as a vital mediator, enhancing the impact of innovation culture on SME participation in public procurement.Design/methodology/approachThe research was carried out with 248 SME suppliers in Ilala district, located in the Dar es Salaam region of Tanzania, utilizing a questionnaire survey and a stratified random sampling technique. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and the Hayes PROCESS macro were employed to analyze the data.FindingsThe study findings highlight collaborative relationships as a pivotal mediator between innovation culture and SME participation in public procurement. Although no direct link between innovation culture and SME participation in public procurement was established, the results indicate a noteworthy positive influence of innovation culture on collaborative relationships, subsequently affecting SME participation in public procurement.Practical implicationsThe research underscores the significance of promoting an innovation-driven culture to support the participation of SMEs within public procurement activities. Additionally, the research offers valuable perspectives on the role of collaborative relationships in stimulating innovation and achieving success in public procurement, guiding SME managers, policymakers and industry stakeholders in cultivating productive relationships and partnerships.Originality/valueThe research enhances both theoretical and practical insights, adding to the literature that addresses the effects of innovation culture and collaborative relationships on SME participation in public procurement. These insights can be valuable to policymakers and SME managers in designing appropriate strategies that foster an innovative culture and explore the benefits of collaborative relationships for effective participation in public procurement.

Strategic Preferential Procurement Policy for Localisation and Inclusive Growth for Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Gauteng Province

The study aims to develop interventions to address the low productive capacity and competitiveness levels of township Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to enable meaningful participation in the mainstream economy. Most township firms continue to be informal and underdeveloped. Despite countless interventions by the development finance institutions, most township enterprises remain perpetual survivalists. The study is anchored upon the neoliberal theory, which emphasizes value for money and market efficiencies in procurement, as well as interventionist theories promoting the inclusion and participation of MSMEs in business, and advocating for the localization of products through various policy interventions. The researcher adopted a mixed-method approach to gather primary and secondary data. Secondary data was used for analysis and supported by the primary information or empirical evidence. The secondary data enriched the research content and complemented the primary data. Databases and reports on township suppliers from the Gauteng Provincial Treasury (Procurement Division) and Gauteng Department of Economic Development helped determine the extent of MSMEs' access to development and financial support opportunities. The study found that the high informality level of township businesses, low level of development, poor economic infrastructure, and lack of access to finance hinder MSMEs' participation in public procurement. Programs and products offered by government agencies do not adequately respond to public procurement challenges facing MSMEs, e.g. product testing and accreditation. The high barriers to entry due to complicated administrative processes and procedures continue to deter MSMEs from participating in the mainstream economy. The Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) were found to be a challenge due to a mismatch between the resource structure to drive economic development and the products offered. The study recommends that to increase the participation of MSMEs in public procurement, there needs to be a targeted growth continuum strategy that tracks interventions from the beginning to the end. Additionally, there needs to be a shift from a quantitative approach with minimal impact to a customised one with qualitative, tangible and tradable products and skills aimed at increasing participation of MSMEs. Furthermore, the political will is required to address the resource mismatch, repurpose resources, or develop specific products by the well-resourced Development Finance Institutions to suit the material conditions of township MSMEs with lesser stringent measures.

Do internet marketing capabilities interact with the effect of procedural capabilities for public procurement participation on SMEs’ sales performance?

PurposeThis study aims to examine the influence of procedural capabilities for public procurement participation on small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) sales performance in Tanzania. Also, the study establishes the interaction effect of internet marketing capabilities on the relationship between procedural capabilities and sales performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted confirmatory factor analysis and PROCESS macro for simple interaction analysis to analyse cross-sectional data that were obtained through questionnaire from surveyed SMEs’ managers. The included SMEs are those that are involved in supplying goods, services and works to public entities in Dodoma, Tanzania.FindingsThe findings reveal that procedural capabilities for participation in public procurement enhance SMEs to improve sales performance. Also, there is a significant and positive relationship between internet marketing capabilities and sales performance. Lastly, internet marketing capabilities strengthen the relationship between procedural capabilities and sales performance.Social implicationsThis study is a wake-up call to SMEs to better comprehend public procurement procedures and e-business practices to use the available public procurement opportunities. It is argued that SMEs should invest in technology to market their businesses through social media and online platforms. According to the study, SMEs may benefit from improving their sales performance by fully utilising their internet marketing capabilities and participating in public procurement opportunities.Originality/valueThis study adds to the two main streams of literature that emphasise harnessing public procurement opportunities for SMEs (through public procurement participation) and leveraging internet marketing capabilities for SMEs to improve their sales performance.

Participation of women-owned SMEs in public procurement: the role of entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge management orientation

PurposeThis study aims to examine the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge management orientation on participation of women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in public procurement. The research also aimed at examining the influence of knowledge management orientation on entrepreneurial orientation, and the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between Knowledge management orientation and participation of women-owned SMEs in public procurement.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a quantitative cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected using a drop-off pick-up method. The determined sample size for the women-owned SME firms was 123, while an effective sample size of 103 was obtained, and covariance-based structural equation modelling was used to test the research hypotheses.FindingsFindings indicated that entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge management positively and significantly influenced both the search for tender opportunities and the number of times the firm submitted bids. Knowledge management orientation had a significant positive influence on entrepreneurial orientation, while entrepreneurial orientation partially mediated the relationship between knowledge management orientation and participation of women-owned SMEs in public procurement, thus implying that both knowledge management orientation and entrepreneurial orientation contribute to search for tender opportunities and the number of times a woman-owned SME firm submits bids.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was cross-sectional and quantitative in nature, yet it involved behaviour aspects such as participation in public procurement. Further, a wholistic approach is taken when studying the SMEs disregarding the industrial characteristics to which the SME belongs.Social implicationsAlmost 30% to 38% of SMEs in developing countries are owned by women. Focusing on increasing the number of women owned SMEs participating in public procurement will improve the nations’ GDP and increase the number of the citizens in the labour force due to increased employability.Originality/valuePrevious research takes a wholistic approach when examining SMEs participation in public sector procurement disregarding the impact of gender. Further, knowledge management orientation and entrepreneurial orientation in women-owned SMEs are studied for the first time in a public procurement setting.

Increased Participation of Organizations in the Sphere of Building Materials Production in Public Procurements

The research considers public procurement, which is one of the most important institutions of the public sector and a key mechanism for interaction with business structures. In the conditions of any type of economy, the state acts as the largest consumer of goods, works, services for public needs. In connection with the global trend of moving from traditional procurement, characterized by close cooperation, to a new order of budget constraints and the need to effectively meet public needs in conditions of limited resources, the principles of public procurement are changing. The issue of developing and implementing approaches to the effective management of participation in public procurement in commercial supplier organizations comes forefront. The content analysis and the literature review revealed that the issues of improving the mechanism of state (municipal) procurement in the Russian Federation as a whole have been studied from the point of view of improving legislation, eliminating methods of unfair competition in the contract system, and fighting corruption , strengthening control, stimulating the development of small and medium-sized businesses, etc. At the same time, the previous research did not examine the issues of analysis and assessment of the current state of the regional public procurement mechanism in conjunction with all-Russian trends, as well as local problems faced by individual customers and suppliers. The current study analyzes the issues of developing participation in public procurement of enterprises of manufacturers in the production of building materials based on an analysis of current trends in this area.

Отдельные вопросы участия лиц с инвалидностью вгосударственных закупках в Республике Казахстан

Many countries around the world are actively incorporating elements of sustainability in their public procurement contracts. One of these elements is the social aspect that allows states to deal with the unemployment of persons with disabilities while also ensuring that their needs for goods and services are met. To achieve the above goal, the state, when conducting public procurement, provides certain advantages to public associations of persons with disabilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan and (or) organizations that are created by public associations of persons with disabilities of the Republic of Kazakhstan, provided that they produce goods and (or) supply goods, perform work, provide services. This article examines the procedure for legal regulation and provision of advantages to certain categories of participants in public procurement and identifies gaps that affect the possibility and effectiveness of their participation to improve the current state that involves such persons who participate in public procurement. The article draws conclusions from the problems of unfair use of benefits of the state for persons with disabilities by other persons who do not have the right to it, and also considering various schemes for withdrawing funds. In other terms, the current legislation which was aimed to satisfy the needs of persons with disabilities giving opportunities to exercise their rights has not been achieved. The article also promotes the idea to provide benefits for categories of social entrepreneurship entities and organizations whose activities are aimed at solving social problems through their participation in public procurement.

Women Entrepreneurs’ Participation in Source Selection and Contract awards in Public Procurement in Kampala, Uganda

The participation of women entrepreneurs in public procurement has become a policy area of interest in developing countries. This is not an exemption for Uganda’s case as pressure keeps mounting on the government for more transparent, inclusive and gender sensitive procurement processes. This paper investigated women entrepreneurs’ participation in public procurement in Kampala, Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional design and used a mixed methods approach, in which 168 survey respondents and 12 key informants representing various associations and agencies responsible for procurement were reached. Findings revealed that the majority (88%) of the women entrepreneurs were knowledgeable about public procurement methods based on their marketing strategies and 60% were aware of solicitation mainly through newspapers. Another 72.2% admitted that they had participated in bidding processes. However, up to 88% were oblivious of public procurement quotas that can enhance their opportunities in public procurement. This study shows that whereas women entrepreneurs may be knowledgeable about source selection, they need to be sensitized about the existing quotas for women and other vulnerable groups and other empowering measures. Also, this study recommends increased representation of women on the contract awards committees to ensure that the reserved quotas are adhered to in the awarding of contracts.

АНАЛИЗ ДЕЙСТВУЮЩЕЙ НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВОЙ БАЗЫ, РЕГЛАМЕНТИРУЮЩЕЙ СФЕРУ ЗАКУПОК

The legislation on the contract system (Law No. 44-FZ) and procurement (Law No. 223-FZ) is constantly being updated and improved. In order to participate effectively in procurement, because buyers expect from suppliers: predictability, quality, confidence, long-term cooperation, potential suppliers of goods (works, services) under 223-FZ and public procurement under 44-FZ, have to carefully study the regulatory framework and periodically undergo training. And customers need to understand all the nuances of legislation in order to minimize errors during procurement procedures, reduce the risks associated with receiving fines and FAS regulations. The article analyzes the current regulatory framework regulating the activities of customers and suppliers in procurement procedures and changes occurring from year to year affecting the procedure for participation in public procurement.

An examination of the barriers to gender-responsive public procurement in South Africa

Women-owned businesses (“WOBs”) obtain less than 6% of public procurement contracts, despite accounting for close to 30% of registered businesses in South Africa. This contribution examines the reasons for the limited participation of WOBs in the public procurement system and finds that there are policy, legal, institutional and cultural barriers to the participation of WOBs in public procurement in South Africa. Policy barriers arise out of the misalignment between economic, gender and procurement policies and legal barriers arise from the previous limited and currently uncertain approach to preferential procurement legislation. However, the contribution finds that institutional, cultural and structural barriers pose even more of a risk to women’s participation in public procurement in South Africa. These institutional barriers include a reticence to prioritise WOBs by public agencies in the absence of an explicit mandate to do so, the reluctance to favour new market entrants to avoid contract failures and a culturally biased approach to WOBs by public agencies. Other barriers include the gendered impact of procurement corruption; the gendered impact of Covid-19, which terminated public contracts in sectors serviced by WOBs; and the complexity and opacity of the procurement process. The contribution finds that the historical lack of attention to women’s participation in procurement, and the lack of disaggregated data on preferential and gendered contracts, have made it difficult to understand the extent of women’s participation and the nature of required legal and policy interventions. This contribution assesses the barriers to the participation of WOBs in public procurement and makes recommendations aimed at addressing some of these barriers.

The article presents the results of scientific research obtained during the implementation of the scientific and technical program on the topic: "Risk-oriented organizational and economic mechanisms for ensuring safe work in the conditions of modern Kazakhstan" (IRN OR11865833-OT-21) within the framework of program-targeted funding of research of the Republican Research Institute for Labor Protection of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Describing the theoretical and legal procedure for overcoming the price dumping of educational services in the field of labor protection in the Republic of Kazakhstan, understanding the complexity, lack of knowledge, debatability and lack of effective political and legal mechanisms for resolving this issue of the research topic, the author points out the presence of theoretical legal gaps in the organization of the training process for employees of enterprises , the lack of control over economic entities providing educational services by state bodies, the public expresses a purely personal subjective scientific opinion on the theoretical and legal overcoming of price dumping of educational services in the field of labor protection. According to the author, in order to prevent accidents that occur in the Republic of Kazakhstan associated with injuries, it is proposed, following the example of individual states (the rules of which establish the principles of public procurement, which largely contribute to eliminating the possibility of providing poor quality educational services in the field of labor protection) to consolidate in article 4 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the principles of professionalism in public procurement, publicity, legality and impartiality in relation to suppliers (contractors). In order to prevent the participation in public procurement of enterprises and organizations providing low-quality services, to encourage fair competition in the educational environment, along with the concept of “Register of unscrupulous participants in public procurement” enshrined in the law, it is proposed to introduce the concept of “Register of qualified suppliers involved in procurement” in which include, among other things, information about unscrupulous companies, unscrupulous individuals, applicants and suppliers involved in public procurement and deliberately dumping prices for educational services in labor protection. According to the author, the above measures will establish equal opportunities for all subjects of economic relations providing educational services in the field of labor protection, improve the quality of services in the field of labor protection.

Exploring Measures for Improving Small and Medium Construction Enterprises’ (SMCEs) Participation in the Nigerian Public Procurement

Despite the roles which small and medium construction enterprises (SMCEs) play in the Nigeria construction industry and the economy at large, extant research revealed that their participation in public procurement is poor as large firms have dominated the public procurement market. Previous studies have identified barriers responsible for their low participation and also suggested improvement measures. However, improvement measures best suited to dismantle/mitigate each barrier is not known. This study thus, assessed measures for improving SMCEs’ participation in Nigeria public procurement. The study collected data from 100 SMCEs in Nigeria, via a questionnaire survey. Mean/relative importance index was used for ranking the measures and ANOVA for checking difference between the studied measures. The result of the study revealed that E-procurement is the best measure for improving SMCEs’ participation in public procurement as it is best in dismantling barriers related to “problematic procurement procedure”, “lack of awareness of public procurement” and “legal issues/corruption”. Training which is suitable for eliminating barriers related to “lack of skilled employees and partners”, emerged as the second best followed by Division of Contract into lots that is best suitable for tackling barriers related to “lack of resources” which is contrary to previous researchers’ belief that it is the best measure. The study concludes that E-procurement, training and division of contract into lots are all suitable measures for improving SMCEs’ participation in Nigeria public procurement in their other of priority. The study’s findings show that it is desirous that the measures are applied together as none of these measures is singularly sufficient in dismantling all barriers to SMCEs’ participation in public procurement.

АНАЛІЗ НАПРЯМІВ ПУБЛІЧНИХ ЗАКУПІВЕЛЬ В УКРАЇНІ ЗА ПРЕДМЕТАМИ ЗАКУПІВЛІ

This paper is devoted to the analysis of public procurement's directions in Ukraine from the point of view of the main subjects of procurement. The analysis was performed by aggregate units of CPV (The Common Procurement Vocabulary) as a whole on the public procurement system ProZorro and for the most used procurement procedures (sub-threshold procurements, contract reporting, open tenders, open tenders with English-language publication) in two dimensions – for all suppliers and separately – for private entrepreneurs. Private entrepreneurs were selected as typical representatives of small and medium-sized business in Ukraine. For the analysis we closed the dimension of «contract», i.e. the final stage of the procurement process, because it more clearly presents the real state of economic relations between the government entities and the supplier of goods / services. The main stages of this study were as follows. At the first step, data were collected about the concluded contracts in terms of aggregated divisions of the CPV lot. Next, we calculated the specific weights for each of the divisions and chose the three largest categories in each of them according to parameters of the number of contracts and their current value. In the third step, the obtained data were collected in a common space for all suppliers and separately for private entrepreneurs and calculated the «rating» of particular divisions of the CPV lot by their presence in the top three in terms of the number of contracts and their value. The purpose of this step was to identify those items of procurement that are perspective in terms of enhancement the participation of private entrepreneurs as suppliers of government entities. We addressed the question – do private entrepreneurs follow the general trends of participation of businesses in government procurement, for which procurement items does it make sense to follow the general trend, and which procurement items are of specific for procurement by private entrepreneurs? We considered the most specific procurement items that private individuals are able to procure to the government entities, as well as those CPV divisions that have the potential to enhance the private entrepreneurs's participation in public procurement.

Research on Public Participation in Public Procurement: In the Context of Digital Economy

Public participation in public procurement is an important guarantee for its sustainable and healthy operation. In the era of digital economy and big data, public participation in information disclosure, service quality, and service pricing in public procurement plays an important role. Public private partnerships are an innovative form of public procurement. This study sorts out the issues of public participation in PPP projects, and puts forward several suggestions based on data thinking. In terms of public procurement project information disclosure, big data technology is used to improve the timeliness and breadth of information disclosure, and enhance the professionalism of information disclosure. Performance-oriented public procurement focuses on service quality, and guarantees service security through information platforms and professional third parties. The stakeholders use big data to supervise social organizations, so that they actively represent the public to file lawsuits in public procurement and relieve the public’s damaged rights and interests. The protection of the public’s right to know, suggest and supervise is inseparable from the training of professional talents by universities. Colleges and universities attach great importance to the cultivation of big data-oriented public procurement professionals, which includes improving teachers’ teaching ability, building a new knowledge system that combines big data and public procurement, and setting professional courses for students at different learning stages through connotative development.
