BARRIERS OF SMES ENGAGING PUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCESS (CASE STUDY IN HEALTH COMMODITY SUPPLIERS IN YANGON) (Kyaw Zwar Win, 2019) Kyaw Zwar Win The local suppliers receive business opportunities in a form of limited or open tenders when the public procurement processes are conducted. Despite having their capacity, sizes, and year of experience small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) are unsuccessful in public procurement processes due to various barriers. The objective of the research is to examine the barriers that the SMEs in Yangon faced when engaging in public procurement tenders. The research focused on the health commodity suppliers in Yangon and concluded that the complicated public procurement procedures in initiation with legal requirements preliminarily filter the SME participation. Language does not make difficult for SMEs to compete with the well-established international players, but various qualification criteria prevent from success. Ethical aspect deters the SMEs from participating in tendering due to lack of feedbacks and room for improvements. Financial requirement is an interference to SMEs because of dispossession of adequate financial assets. Demanding for excessive information during tendering exercises in combination with short tendering notices leave them behind. 2019-12-01 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000001672 https://meral.edu.mm/records/1672
