Kia ora friends, 💡 Have you worked for or owned an SME (less than 50 employees) that has been involved in government procurement processes in the past? I want your insights! 🚀 As part of my final MBA project at the UC Business School, I am focused on identifiying ways to provide more opportunities for SMEs to develop their business with a vision to increase long-term market capacity. 🔍 The foundation of this is identifying the core barriers presented by government procurement that impact SMEs so we can develop more tangible, practical ways to address them. 📊 We’ve all heard the argument for cutting up contracts into smaller portions to attract a wider range of businesses, but did you know that multiple studies have been unable to demonstrate that this translated into successful outcomes for SMEs? 📝 I'm well aware of the opportunity cost that comes with responding to government tenders, so I've made this survey as quick and painless as possible (unless you wish to have a chat or provide more detailed feedback 😉). 💬 If this sounds like you, please take five minutes (or less) to complete this survey and share your experiences! https://lnkd.in/g8eJnCQQ #smallbusiness #sme #mediumbusiness #publicprocurement #governmentprocurement #smallbusinessprocurement #smeprocurement
