“…There is a growing collection of studies on sustainable procurement, looking at SSCM issues in a public procurement context (Brammer & Walker, 2011;Bratt, Hallstedt, Robèrt, Broman, & Oldmark, 2013;Lund-Thomsen & Costa, 2011;Preuss & Walker, 2011;Roman, 2017;Uttam & Roos, 2015;Walker & Brammer, 2012). Finally, there are a few studies that have focused on understanding how public procurement can be used to support social initiatives (Erridge & Henningan, 2007;Hawkins, Gravier, & Powley, 2011;Meehan & Bryde, 2015;Snider, Halpern, Rendon, & Kidalov, 2013).…”

PurposeThis study aims to illuminate the challenges involved in implementing community benefits (CBs), a sustainable public procurement policy that ensures that there are positive social and economic outcomes for the local community when public money is spent on goods, works and services.Design/methodology/approachInterviews and focus groups were conducted with public sector buyers and suppliers in Wales with experience in implementing CBs. Resource dependence theory was used to examine the extent to which dependence on resources effects CBs implementation.FindingsWhilst the study confirms that implementation of CBs improves economic and social outcomes, there can also be challenges for public sector organisations and their constituent supply chains. These include tensions between CBs and other policies, differing views between buyers and suppliers, and the unintended consequences of promoting one form of CBs over another.Research limitations/implicationsThe research found that Welsh Government influences the buyer-supplier dyad through regulatory and financial power. We elaborate on resource dependency theory by adding four constructs (powerful stakeholders, intra and inter organisational issues, challenges and enablers) to better understand the flows of power and resources in this research context.Practical implicationsBuyer and supplier practitioners and policymakers may find the factors leading to successful CBs implementation useful, such as ensuring closer communication and liaison at early contract stages.Social implicationsCommunity benefits are aimed at improving socioeconomic issues through public procurement.Originality/valueThis study addresses the need for research into how public sector organisations and suppliers seek to implement socio-economic sustainability measures, and the lack of research on CBs implementation to date. It is also novel in adopting a dyadic approach and a resource dependency perspective.

“…But procurement is more than a purely formal intra-agency bureaucratic process. Rather it is a research subject in itself and, recently, there has been increased interest in aspects such as how procurement policy tools can be used to promote goals ranging from environmental sustainability (Jothi Basu, Bai, and Palaniappan 2015;Aragão and Jabbour 2017), to commissioning various kinds of social services from the non-governmental sector (Sturgess 2018), and even fostering specific kinds of social principles and Corporate Social Responsibility in procurement activity (Snider et al 2013;Pauly and Swanson 2017). Research has also looked at how some discriminatory procurement practices can be altered or amended, especially to ensure that goals like sustainability and social equity are enhanced and supported (Kono and Rickard 2014;Keulemans and Van de Walle 2017).…”

“…E para isso, os países em desenvolvimento e desenvolvidos estão gastando bilhões de dólares para atingi-los. Contudo, pouca atenção é dada às compras públicas como um impulsionador do desenvolvimento sustentável (Chowdhury et al, 2019;Gallon et al, 2019;Snider et al, 2013;Zhu et al, 2013).…”

O gerenciamento de riscos (GR) tem se tornado um instrumento de mitigação de diversas variáveis que afetam as compras governamentais no curso de seu processo de uma aquisição pública mais sustentável. Este artigo tem por objetivo apontar tendências teóricas a partir de um estudo bibliométrico dos principais trabalhos sobre gerenciamento de riscos em compras públicas sustentáveis (GRCPS) quanto ao número de publicações por ano, quantidade de citações por autor e países que mais tratam dessa temática, além de identificar os autores mais relevantes no tema pesquisado bem como da convergência temática das palavras-chave das pesquisas realizadas. Para tal, as buscas foram realizadas nas bases científicas Scopus e Web of Science contemplando os anos de 2010 a 2020, identificando-se ao todo 89 trabalhos para análise bibliométrica por meio do pacote bibliometrix do Software R Studio. Assim, este trabalho tem sua relevância em contribuir com a análise da evolução dos estudos de gerenciamento de riscos em compras públicas sustentáveis ainda incipiente, uma vez que a pesquisa bibliográfica revela que existem poucos trabalhos no campo acadêmico que aplicam o conceito de gerenciamento de riscos às compras públicas. O estudo revelou que o interesse na gestão de riscos tem crescido na última década, apontando para uma discussão mais ampla sobre a integração e compartilhamento de dados para mitigar riscos. Contudo, a relação dos tipos de riscos os quais possam afetar a cadeia de suprimentos em função da adoção de critérios de sustentabilidade em compras públicas se mostra uma proposta a ser pesquisada futuramente.
