The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Foreign Bribery Report states that 57 per cent of foreign bribery cases which it assessed related to public procurement.In the EU alone, corrupt bidding processes have increased annual contract costs by US$5 billion. The effects can be disastrous, including exposing companies to serious risks, such as:\n\n\n- missed business opportunities, as businesses are competing in a field that is distorted by bribery;\n- reputational damage, through association with corruption\n- potentially heavy fines, under laws which have a global impact, such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the UK Anti-Bribery Act;\n- blacklisting and debarment from future bids (depending on jurisdiction).\n\n\nA solution? Integrity Pacts.\n\nIntegrity Pacts bring a wealth of benefits to business including confidence in fair competition, protecting a company’s reputation, excluding corrupt competitors and acting as an important public signal of a company’s commitment to transparency and integrity. ",[32],[],[55],{"tags_id":56},{"id":57,"name":58},909,"Collective Action",{"id":60,"title":61,"slug":62,"image":63,"type":64,"date_published":40,"publisher":17,"summary":6,"body":65,"area":6,"programme":6,"languages":66,"countries":67,"tags":68},2001,"Making the Case for Open Contracting in Healthcare Procurement","making-case-open-contracting-healthcare-procurement","927c32d9-3952-4f7f-9984-27cdba8044a3",[28],"Healthcare and public procurement both suffer from high levels of corruption and the point at which they converge, procurement within healthcare, is an acute vulnerability that is routinely exploited. But governments and civil society organisations are now taking action to protect the lives of citizens by implementing open contracting.\n\nThe proposition behind open contracting is that procurement reform requires a broad base of participation from outside government. Businesses must be able to compete for contracts and make sense of the market. The communities directly affected by procurement, and the groups and people that represent those communities, are often better placed than government to independently monitor the procurement process.\n\nTo facilitate this participation, governments must publish useful, timely and accessible information about the procurement process. Healthcare and anti-corruption efforts share a common principle: prevention is better than cure. In the long term, open contracting offers a route for governments to move from the procurement status quo of corruption, waste and inefficiency, to clean contracting, in which fairness, integrity and efficiency are the norms.\n\nThis report first outlines some of the major challenges in healthcare procurement before explaining how open contracting works and how it can support reform.

Worldwide, procurement spending averages between 13 per cent and 20 per cent of gross domestic product. Every year an estimated average of US$9.5 trillion of public money is spent by governments through public procurement. With such vast sums at stake, few government activities create greater temptations or offer more opportunities for corruption than public sector procurement.\n\nThis guide sets out basic principles to be followed and minimum standards to be adopted by governments, which, in collaboration with the private sector, have the responsibility to ensure the full integrity of the public contracting process. Civil society can use the enumerated principles and minimum standards to advocate for steps to reduce corruption and waste in public contracting. This guide also emphasises and explains the important role that civil society organisations can play in the procurement process as monitors and watchdogs acting against corruption.\n\nIn addition, this guide identifies some critical issues in procurement processes that are often overlooked, and details steps that public of cials, the private sector and civil society can take, acting separately and together, to significantly curb corruption in public procurement. ",[32],[],[122],{"tags_id":123},{"id":124,"name":125},1375,"Civil society",{"id":127,"title":128,"slug":129,"image":130,"type":131,"date_published":109,"publisher":132,"summary":6,"body":133,"area":6,"programme":6,"languages":134,"countries":135,"tags":136},2087,"Handbook on the Integrity Pact: Safeguarding EU funds against fraud & corruption through the civil control mechanism of Integrity Pacts","handbook-integrity-pact-safeguarding-eu-funds-against-fraud-corruption-through-civil","836b7493-d737-473b-9ec4-8356168e84de",[28],"Transparency International – Hungary","This handbook seeks to provide hands-on guidance to those contracting authorities and bidders who are willing to act for a more transparent public procurement market by pursuing an integrity pact.
