Abstract
In Uganda, under current procurement arrangements, few
domestic firms are fully competitive. Most of these firms, just like in many other
developing countries, are small and medium sized. These SMEs face obstacles
at every stage such as poor production techniques, lack of expertise, and the lack
of information about potential contracts. For firms to succeed in the global
market there is a need for them to understand their internal capabilities with
regard to bidding for public procurement contracts. This paper presents the
results of a recent research study on SME capacity in Uganda to bid for and win
international contracts. It suggests and tests key components of SME capacity
that will need further attention if Ugandan firms are to improve in terms of
participation in the public procurement market.
