The Integrity Pact – Harnessing collective action for good governance and business integrity in public procurement

Transparency International, in consultation with its national Chapters and partners, has developed this blueprint to guide the implementation of future Integrity Pacts according to good practice. The blueprint is addressed to practitioners in government, the private sector, civil society and development partners wishing to safeguard public procurement projects with strategic policy, financial and social value. The blueprint provides in-depth guidance on the IP implementation process, including:

• Initiating fit-for-purpose IP initiatives.
• Preparing and signing an IP, comprising a public integrity pledge, a corporate integrity pledge, a civil society monitoring agreement, a dispute resolution mechanism, sanctions and incentives.
• Effectively executing IPs, with the support of communications, risk management measures, and monitoring and evaluation.
