This indicator considers whether gender equality bodies and/or public procurement bodies have measures in place to facilitate the participation of women-owned micro-enterprises and SMEs in the public procurement process.
The findings presented for Member States are based on a combination of desk research, and interviews with public procurement authorities (except in Czech Republic and Luxembourg where no interviews were possible). The data collected for Austria, Lithuania, Portugal and Romania also incorporates information from an interview with a gender equality body.
