Samenvatting

The regional office of the Royal Association MKB-Nederland, the largest entrepreneurs’ organisation in the Netherlands, MKB-Nederland Noord asked us if we could support small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (SME’s) in the North of the Netherlands to fulfill social conditions in public procurement. SME’s often lack the knowledge about meeting conditions to spend part of the value of the tender on persons with a distance to the labour market. This may cause SME’s cannot compete with large companies who usually do know how to meet social conditions in tenders SME’s.
