Fairness in Procurement

Fairness in procurement means ensuring that the process of purchasing goods or services is open, transparent, and impartial. It involves giving all qualified vendors an equal chance to compete for contracts without bias or favoritism. This ensures selection is based on merit, value, and quality, rather than personal relationships or unfair advantages. Fair procurement builds trust, promotes competition, and delivers the best value for money, benefiting both the organization and the suppliers. Ultimately, it upholds integrity and accountability in how public and private sector resources are allocated.
