Abstract: The authors assess the impact of a public procurement programme designed to encourage small and micro businesses (SMBs) in Brazil to take part in public procurement auctions. The programme had no effect on contracted prices. However, SMBs were more likely to have their contracts terminated as a result of poor performance. Implications for theory and for practice internationally are discussed in this paper.
