中小企业 (SMES) 公共采购的可及性：加纳的中小企业实体视角

他的研究旨在检查中小企业在获得帮助时的竞争力，特别是获得公共采购合同的机会。使用了描述性和探索性设计。便利抽样技术被应用于选择 91 名受访者。研究结果表明，在获得公共合同的加纳经济中中小企业的竞争力方面，中小企业具有灵活经营的能力以及对意外或意外变化的适应能力。还透露，中小企业是经济多元化的力量，可以成为增长和发展的主要引擎。研究还显示，中小企业在创新、就业、空间效益和分散供应机会的潜力方面具有优势。关于根据《公共采购法》第 663 号给予加纳中小企业优惠待遇的问题，研究表明，采购官员/实体无需为中小企业提供公平竞争合同的机会，也没有提供任何具体的法律或条款。给中小企业。公共采购法 663 中的优惠幅度旨在优先考虑与外国供应商和承包商竞争的本地供应商和承包商（无论业主的国籍如何），而不是专门针对加纳的中小企业。很明显，第 663 号公共采购法中没有为中小企业提供小企业预留计划，并且没有任何投标和履约担保豁免。
