Title (unofficial):Inclusion of SMEs in e-procurement programme
 
Category:05. e-Procurement
 
Suggested Sponsor(s):Head of Finance
Head of Economic Development
 
ODPM desc:Inclusion of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in e-procurement programme, in order to promote the advantages of e-procurement to local suppliers and retain economic development benefits within the local community.
 
IDeA guidance:This outcome is a voluntary one agreed by high performing councils as part of the IEG3 grant claim process.

To fulfil the requirements of this outcome, councils will need to determine which SMEs the council already does business with. They should also identify whether there are significant numbers of SMEs offering relevant goods and services that are not currently trading with the council.

They will need to gather information from SMEs and their representative organisations about the progress SMEs have made in e-enabling their organisations, and what challenges the wider adoption of e-procurement by the council would present to them.

Finally, they should develop a supplier engagement programme to communicate the potential benefits of e-procurement and to highlight the support available to help SMEs to e-enable their organisations. This programme should be in line with the council’s broader objectives for economic development and regeneration.
