2. Summary
• SMEs stressed as important by the EU Commission and by
local governments – procurement area of improvement
• Model SME participation by using count data model,
estimating the number of bids by SMEs
• Model SME success in bidding by multinomial logit model
• Guidelines issued – do they have any effect?
– Including many part contracts increase participation by small and
micro firms
– Evaluating quality (+) all firms participation, (-) probability of
winning for small firms compared to large firms
– Value (+) participation for all except micro firms, (-) probability of
winning for micro and small firms

3. Background
• SMEs
• 0-9 employees – proprietorships and micro firms
• 10-49 employees – small firms
• 50-249 employees – medium-sized firms
• >249 employees – large firms
• Account for 99 percent of all firms in EU
– 52 % of total turnover
– Secured 33 % of total procurement value 2006-2008 (SBA 2011)
• European Commission adopted ”Small Business Act” to
recognize SME’s local key players and employers
• Public procurement one addressed area – intention of
increasing SME participation
3
4. Background
• All firms should compete on equal terms (Directive 2004)
• Several countries use set-asides and quotas: USA, Canada,
India, South Africa.
• Reasons for non-participation
– Too complicated - economies of scale in bidding
– Time-consuming – administrative capacity constraints
– Contracts too large
• EU Commission issued guidelines on measures to increase
SME participation (2008)

5. ”Best practices”
• EU Commission and SCA have published similar
documents of best practices
• Gathering market information pre advertisement
• Rapidly answering questions when procuring
• Advertising early on
• Avoiding too large and extensive contracts
– Low administrative costs vs more bidders?
– Divide procurements into smaller lots where possible
• Evaluating economically most preferential bid
– SME proposed sector of innovation and growth

6. Previous research
• Myerson (1981) and Lafonte and Tirole (1987) on optimal
auction design attracted research in public procurement
auctions
• Manelli and Vincent (1995) addresses the problem where
the quality is unknown ex ante
• Using mechanism-design, Morand (2003) concludes set-
asides are not optimal for preferential treatment
• Report by GHK (2010) found that higher value decreases
SME’s probability to win, and that evaluating quality
surprisingly decreases the probability of SME’s winning
• Krasnokutskaya & Seim (2011) on SME probability of
winning in highway auctions when preferential
treatment is used

7. The data
• 20 procurements (if applicable) collected from 40
weighted and randomly selected authorities, counties and
municipalities during 2007-2008
• 652 procurements, 11 236 bids
• 121 procurements use 1067 part contracts, total of 1610
contracts
• Many different goods and services, heterogenous dataset
• Mean value of contracts 21 million SEK
• Median value 1.5 million SEK

58 % (937) contracts use
evaluation of quality
Value ranges from 30 000 SEK
to 4.35 billion SEK

10. Modelling participation
• Estimate number of SME bids (count data) using a
negative binomial model
• Possible endogeneity due to unobserved variables
influencing SMEs decision to submit bids
• Use coarsened exact matching to improve causal
inference
– Finds matches to improve analysis of treatment effect
• Estimation will focus on evaluation of quality

12. Modelling probability to win
• Estimate probability of winning using MNL model
• Modelled as procurer choosing between different firms to
maximize utility
• Four different outcomes, choice of firm is:
• Micro
• Small
• Medium
• Large
• All firms have the same basic probability of winning (1/n)
• Same variables as participation estimation except
multiple winners
• Observation=contract, clustered on procurement

14. Summary
• Evaluating quality significantly increases participation for
micro, small and large firms
– More firms are willing to submit bids because they might know
that they are not the cheapest but have a chance due to good
quality
• Including relatively many part procurements increases
probability of micro and small firms to win contracts
– No significant effect on medium-sized firms
• A larger procurement value decreases micro and small
firms probability to submit a winning bid
• Evaluation of quality decreases small firms probability to
win
– Micro firms significant at 89% level
