Importanceand characteristicsof SMEs
•Besides their contribution to the GDP, they are important in generating employment (e.g., in Latin America, SMEs account for around 99% of businesses and employ around 67% of employees).
•There is no official data on the environmental performance of SMEs, but is known their difficulty to comply with standards and it is recognized that their environmental impact is significant.
Public sector´ssupply chain
•The participation of SMEs in public procurement may be direct, either because the SME is selling the product that another enterprise manufactured, or because the SME is the manufacturer selling, or indirect when they are the manufacturer or provider of materials, but another enterprise sells directly to the Public Sector.
•Also, the SME could be part of a bid as a subcontractor (for example, in the case of constructions), or be the contractor themselves. Of course, the supply chain could be as complex as many enterprises might be on multiple tiers below the bidder.
Taken from the SPHS Annual Report 2016
SMEs in PublicProcurement
When trying to access public procurement, SMEs face difficulties such as:
•The size of contracts
•Lack of access to relevant (quality) information
•Disproportionate qualification levels and financial requirements
•Delayed payments
•Emphasis on price, rather than on value for money
•Red tape
•Perceive risk, from the buyers´ point of view, as SMEs might not have the track record
•Among others
SMEs in PublicProcurement
There are different policies that can encourage the participation of SMEs in public procurement:
Competi-tiveness of SMEs in GPP
Even if a country successfully develops the capacity to implement GPP, SMEs need support to take part of this market.
There is a perceived risk of GPP creating unfair competitive advantage for few (often large, international) firms able to comply with GPP standards.

SMEs in GPP
There are many
policies around the
world on promoting
SMEs on public
procurement
Many countries have programmes / service
suppliers to support SMEs improve their
environmental performance and upgrade
their technology, as well as green finance.
Not necessarily linked to GPP
priorities
Recommendationsfor countries
Based on UNEP´s SPP Approach Steps
(UNEP, 2012)
Recommendations for countries: Prioritize products
As part of the Market Readiness Analysis, consider:
• Are there policies in place to promote the participation of SMEs in public procurement? How are the barriers to SMEs in public procurement been addressed?
• What are the types of SMEs on that market? (commercial ventures, microenterprises, SMEs, Dynamic SMEs)
• What is the maturity level of those SMEs regarding their capacity to offer a green bid?
Recommendations for countries: Prioritize products
• What are relevant certification or verification instruments available in the country? What are the costs involved for companies to comply?
• Are there financial instruments/subsidies available to SMEs to make necessary investments?
• What is the costs differential of green products? Is life cycle costing or total cost of ownership used in public procurement?
• Are there national programmes (or other instruments) to promote environmental improvements on those sectors, either through training or technical assistance?
Recommendations for countries: Define specificstrategies
• Acknowledge the heterogeneity of SMEs (from micro to quite dynamic SMES able to exploit market opportunities).
• Coordinate with the SME´s capacity building institutions capacity building improve environmental performance of products/processes aimed at the particular products prioritized for GPP.
Recommendations for countries: Define specificstrategies
• Coordinate with the finance sector the inclusion of investments to modify products, certifications, or others, in their white list of green investments for SMEs.
• Make sure SMEs take part into the definition of sustainability criteria and define clear instructions to buyers on how to gradually include the criteria.
• As each user may have different functional and performance needs to fulfill, it´s not possible to define criteria that is bounding. However, it is important to provide guidance to avoid a multitude of different sustainability criteria for the same product.
• When defining the monitoring system, define metrics to measure the participation of SMEs in SPP.
Challenges in thehealth sector
• Not to define stringent environmental criteria, out of the reach of SMEs to comply, financially and/or technically (including certifications with no local providers). SMEs rarely take part in GPP criteria development, which tends then to request readily available green products, rather than engage in partnerships with SMEs to foster innovation.
• Provide enough time to prepare, as SMEs do not have the resources to allocate personnel to environmental management and/ or research to green their products.
•Avoid the “Eco-label dilemma”: globally, there are over 400 ecolabels in operation, and for sectors that are frequent areas of public spending there are around 40 labels, all indicating varying levels of performance.
Challenges in thehealth sector
• SMEs´ reluctance to face the costs of introducing the necessary changes, particularly when the buyers´preference is lower cost, instead of the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) criterion.
• Not compliance to quality standards. There have been complaints on the quality of some green products and it is reported as a barrier hampering the market uptake of green products.
Challenges in thehealth sector
• Lack of capacity building programmes (training and / or technical assistance) to support SMEs adapt their production processes and/or their products.
• In countries with weak enforcement of environmental regulations, even basic criteria could render a significant portion of SMEs unable to bid.
Challenges in thehealth sector
• The coordination with the relevant local institutions

PSCI
Diversity is a critical element in building an effective
workforce and also efficient supply chain.
Strategically selecting diverse suppliers helps add value and create
social benefits that support the demographics of our workforce and
customers
It is not:
A quota system, a charity or a “set-aside”
It is:
About utilizing new, under-utilized suppliers – through a proactive
program that ensures an inclusive supply chain, thereby ensuring our
supply chain expands beyond what’s traditional to include small,
woman-owned, minority-owned, LGBT, or Disabled businesses etc

Takeda
• Our supplier diversity program is a reflection of our Values—Diversity, Teamwork, Commitment,
Transparency, Passion, and Innovation. These values describe who we are and the way we
conduct ourselves in our company, our community and in our business environment.
• As part of Takeda’s sustainable procurement program, the supplier diversity program allows us to
invest in the communities in which we live, work and serve by purchasing goods and services
from a diverse range of businesses. We see it as an opportunity to make a positive impact and
a way to contribute to the economic strength of those communities. This includes fostering
and maintaining relationships with small, minority or women-owned businesses. In addition,
partnering with a diverse range of suppliers provides overall value within our procurement
process and contributes to our mission by giving Takeda access to new and innovative
products and services while optimizing price, quality and availability of products and services,
and is in keeping with our overall corporate commitment to responsibility and sustainability.

Supplier diversity – member approaches
AstraZeneca
• Over the past few years, there has been a shift in our supply base away from larger global suppliers towards smaller, more innovative ones. Driven by our business strategy to become more science-led and innovative, we often find that small companies can be more flexible, responsive and creative, so we see a real benefit in awarding contracts to a diverse range of suppliers. All our suppliers must meet the same global quality and ethical standards in order to win work with AstraZeneca, so our supplier diversity programme helps small businesses understand our requirements and build their capabilities.
• In the US, we partner with organisations that represent small or minority-owned businesses to provide targeted training, mentoring and coaching to their members and, where appropriate, introduce individuals to people in our Procurement team. We also encourage small businesses to work together to strengthen their capabilities and meet the requirements of contracts that would otherwise be too big for them to take on alone. In other regions of the world we adopt a targeted approach to supplier diversity taking into account the local environment as well as our own business needs.

J&J
• We recognize the importance of having a diverse supplier base that reflects our patients and customers
around the world. By working with small and diverse suppliers, we tap into new ideas that add value to
our businesses and provide innovative solutions to our marketing, manufacturing and research &
development efforts. Our Supplier Diversity Program helps us attract qualified small and diverse suppliers to
support our business needs.
• Our commitment to Supplier Diversity led us to establish a formal Office of Supplier Diversity in 1998 in
addition to our ongoing active outreach program. The Office is integrated into our operating companies
through Supplier Diversity leadership representatives, and also includes additional representation for our
corporate and category leadership teams.
