• It is essential that public procurement professionals and stakeholders1 adhere to a well-defined and established code of ethics. The public procurement organization should have an adopted code of ethics and require its employees to uphold the code and seek commitment to it by all those with whom they engage. Element 1.1: Conflict of Interest Element 1.2: Conduct with Suppliers Element 1.3: Corruption Element 1.4: Business gifts and hospitality Element 1.5 Other Policies and Considerations Element 1.6: Ensuring compliance Ethics are the principles which define behavior as right, good and appropriate. Employees in public service are bound to uphold certain values (See: Values and Guiding Principles). Any attempt to realize personal gain by conduct inconsistent with the proper discharge of the employee’s duties is a breach of the public trust. The value of the transactions in the procurement process along with pressures to lower costs could result in bribery, corruption and other practices which could be deemed unethical. In the public sector where goods and services are funded by public expenditure, it is imperative that procurement operates ethically, with impartiality, transparency, and professionalism. Ethical procurement best practice starts with the employees in procurement following an ethical code which dictates their behavior and actions while conducting business. Ethical procurement practices should be extended to all stakeholders in the procurement cycle. Ethical procurement should also include an understanding of suppliers’ operations and the procurement professional should offer guidance and support when improvement is necessary or appropriate.

• Element 1.6: Ethics and Code of Conduct A procurement policy manual should provide guidance in regards to ethics and code of conduct for everyone involved in the procurement process, as well as remedies for violation of the policy. This guidance should include: conflicts of interest; gratuities and kickbacks; contingent fees; misuse of confidential information; process for disciplining agency employees who violate the procurement policies or code of ethics; process for debarring and/or suspending vendors under specific circumstances; process for handling protests, appeals, disputes, claims, hearings, and contractual remedies.

• Principle 4. Ensure that procurement officials meet high professional standards of knowledge, skills and integrity. Recognising officials who work in the area of public procurement as a profession is critical to enhancing resistance to mismanagement, waste and corruption. Governments should invest in public procurement accordingly and provide adequate incentives to attract highly qualified officials. They should also update officials’ knowledge and skills on a regular basis to reflect regulatory, management and technological evolutions. Public officials should be aware of integrity standards and able to identify potential conflict between their private interests and public duties that could influence public decision making. Principle 5. Put mechanisms in place to prevent risks to integrity in public procurement. Governments should provide institutional or procedural frameworks that help protect officials in public procurement against undue influence from politicians or higher level officials. Governments should ensure that the selection and appointment of officials involved in public procurement are based on values and principles, in particular integrity and merit. In addition, they should identify risks to integrity for job positions, activities, or projects that are potentially vulnerable. Governments should prevent these risks through preventative mechanisms that foster a culture of integrity in the public service such as integrity training, asset declarations, as well as the disclosure and management of conflict of interest.

• P. 23-25: Objectivity, Integrity and Honesty 119 Governing bodies of public sector entities need to establish appropriate mechanisms to ensure that members of the governing body and employees of public sector entities are not influenced by prejudice, bias or conflicts of interest. [...] Conflicts of Interest 121 (…) In this context, avoiding conflicts of interest means that governing body members and employees of public sector entities do not use their position in the public sector entity to further their private gain in a social or business relationship outside the public entity. Examples may include: any outside employment, directorship or material shareholding is not entered into if it is contrary to the objectives and interests of the entity. Where public servants have such outside interests, they are declared; official decisions or official actions are not improperly influenced by any relationship (e.g., kin, marriage or partnership) or by any personal or financial consideration; fees for performing services that form part of official duties (e.g., lecturing) are disclosed to the entity, which establishes procedures for their treatment. 122 Members of governing bodies may be appointed on either a full-time or a part-time basis. Some members of a governing body may have their own consultancy businesses or may act as members on the boards of other entities. Concise and unambiguous guidelines and complete disclosure requirements need to be in place in such circumstances. 124 These rules could be underpinned by a “register of interests” to record all relevant personal and business interests, which, for members of the governing body and top managers, needs to be made publicly available. When a conflict is established, the person should play no part in the relevant discussion, decision or action. Political Interests (…) Gifts, Hospitality and Entertainment (…) The Public and People from Other Organizations (…) Employees (…) Suppliers (…)

• Principle 2. Maximize transparency in competitive tendering and take precautionary measures to enhance integrity, in particular for exceptions to competitive tendering. To ensure sound competitive processes, governments should provide clear rules, and possibly guidance, on the choice of the procurement method and on exceptions to competitive tendering. Although the procurement method could be adapted to the type of procurement concerned, governments should, in all cases, maximize transparency in competitive tendering. Governments should consider setting up procedures to mitigate possible risks to integrity through enhanced transparency, guidance and control, in particular for exceptions to competitive tendering such as extreme urgency or national security. Principle 10. Empower civil society organizations, media and the wider public to scrutinize public procurement. Governments should disclose public information on the key terms of major contracts to civil society organizations, media and the wider public. The reports of oversight institutions should also be made widely available to enhance public scrutiny. To complement these traditional accountability mechanisms, governments should consider involving representatives from civil society organizations and the wider public in monitoring high-value or complex procurements that entail significant risks of mismanagement and corruption.

• P. 59-60: Prática P3.1 – Promover a cultura da transparência e divulgação proativa das informações, utilizando-se especialmente dos meios de tecnologia da informação A transparência é um dos mecanismos mais eficientes e essenciais para o combate a fraude e corrupção. Para tanto, a organização deve conscientizar seus servidores, a alta administração, os membros de conselhos e as partes interessadas sobre a natureza pública das informações. [...] Para a melhor efetividade da transparência, as informações devem estar prontamente disponíveis ao público, independentemente de requerimento de interessados. A organização deve rotineiramente publicar suas informações à medida que as produza e receba. Dessa forma, estarão atualizadas e, a qualquer momento, poderão ser consulta- das sem a necessidade de uma provocação exterior à organização. A internet deve ser o principal meio de divulgação das informações. Os sítios em que estiverem disponíveis as informações devem, também, oferecer a informação no formato de dados abertos, o que significa permitir que as informações sejam não s+ pesquisáveis, mas também exportáveis em arquivos. Com esse tipo de formato, amplia-se o controle social, pois se permite que pesquisadores, imprensa, sociedade civil organizada e quaisquer interessados controlem a gestão a partir das informações brutas, desenvolvendo novos relatórios, aplicações e sistemas de controle social.
