COMPARING PPP WITH TRADITIONAL PROCUREMENT: THE CASE OF SCHOOLS PROCUREMENT IN IRELAND

Advocates of public‐private partnerships (PPPs) argue that they can deliver public infrastructure more efficiently than traditional procurement through timelier completion and superior value for money. Despite these claims comparative analysis of the performance of both procurement methods has received scant attention in the PPP literature to date. This paper addresses this issue by providing an in‐depth, case‐based comparison of PPP versus traditional procurement in the schools sector in Ireland. Through detailed semi‐structured interviews with key stakeholders and an examination of the available documentation, we assess whether the key objectives of using PPP have been achieved. Overall, we find no evidence that PPP leads to faster delivery of infrastructure when the overall procurement process from contract notice to delivery is accounted for. In addition, we find only limited evidence to suggest that PPP results in better value for money.

Market based price support program: an alternative approach to large scale food procurement and distribution system

In most developing countries of the world, large scale public food procurement and distribution systems (PFDS) have become too expensive for the country governments to support from their own resources. Despite high financial and administrative costs of the programs, the degree of seasonal price stabilization and price support achieved through the activities remain quite low. Using the Bangladesh PFDS as a case study, this research indicates that considerable improvements in price support can be achieved by providing credit to the farmers immediately after the harvest. If the government procurement is reduced by 50 per cent in Bangladesh, and providing 150 per cent of the cost of running PFDS as credit, Bangladesh can improve the farmers' income and achieve better stability of cereal prices at a cost less than one-third of the current costs of the PFDS.     

发挥政府采购政策效应促进中小企业发展

经过几十年的发展,中小企业已经成为我国科技创新、增加就业的重要力量,在市场经济体制的建立和城镇化的过程中有着举足轻重的作用,为整个国民经济的持续、健康发展做出了重要贡献,是社会主义市场经济的重要组成部分。但是,由于种种主客观原因,中小企业的发展困难重重,其中以资金不足为最。与此同时,我国政府采购的规模不断扩大,估计在今年要达到3000亿,这对我国企业的发展会起到非常大的促进作用,但从总体看,中小企业参与政府采购的程度很低,政府采购本身对中小企业的关注还很不够,这将是中小企业丧失很多难得的发展机会。为此,本文将从中小企业的现状和作用入手,分析政府采购支持中小企业发展的理论依据和法律依据,并着重提出发挥政府采购促进我国中小企业发展的对策建议。     

如何利用物流提高企业竞争力
