Emergent themes on SP barriers in SOEs (Schedule 2 vs Schedule 3)
| Dimension | Schedule 2 | Schedule 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Emphasis on PPPFA | Preferential procurement dominates; ESG alignment inconsistent | PPPFA applied with minimal SP integration |
| Poor implementation of PPPFA | Political interference; exclusion of disadvantaged suppliers | Fronting; incomplete transformation persists |
| Limited environmental focus | Environmental audits rarely conducted; outdated specifications | Environmental criteria absent in specifications |
| Lack of training | Limited training for senior staff; operational gaps | Training absent across levels; skills gaps evident |
| Lack of awareness | Moderate awareness; uneven implementation | Very low awareness; not embedded in practice |
| Policy–practice gap | Frameworks exist but lack enforcement | Few formal SP policies; weak integration |
| Corruption and governance | Weak enforcement; political manipulation | Lack of consequence management fosters irregularities |
| Green suppliers | Limited supplier base; weak incentives | No strategic emphasis on green suppliers |
