Dividing the Procurement Contracts

• Part procurements have various effects on
  participation and probability to win depending on
  the number of contracts in the procurement.
  Dividing the procurement into many contracts
  (more than 10) significantly increases
  participation by micro and small firms, whereas
  dividing it into a few contracts (2-4), has a
  negative effect on participation from both small,
  medium.-sized and large firms.
• Looking at their respective probability to win,
  many part contracts increase small and micro
  firms chances, while having a few contracts only
  increases micro firms probability to win compared
  to large firms.

lack of understanding of the procurement
process

• lack of understanding of the procurement
  process can undermine the quality of bids
  Poor bids show a lack of understanding of the
  procurement process. As such, it is recommended
  that you invest in putting together a dedicated
  team with the right skills and time available to
  understand how the process works. This will
  enable you (as far as resources allow) to
  maximise your chances of being successful.

Understanding the culture of the Public
Sector

• understanding the culture of the public
  sector is also a must. For example,
  expect that the process might be painful
  and not altogether transparent. Although in
  many cases, a better outcome for both procurer
  and supplier might be found through open
  discussion.

E-procurement - Pros Cons

• E-procurement is the future, but till the time,
  tendering will remain a complex and tedious
  procedure. It is purely on the basis of merit,
  and the SME with positive background with the
  intent to deliver the best of goods and services
  on time with the lowest bid, wins the tender.
• The better the SME will reflect on its planning
  and the way to fulfil the project with innovation
  and expertise, the greater would be its chances
  of getting through the process.
