Procurement Integrity

Procurement integrity refers to the ethical practices and transparency within the buying process of goods and services, especially by public institutions. It ensures that purchases are made fairly, without favoritism or corruption, and that all suppliers have equal opportunities to compete. This integrity helps maintain trust in the process, ensures taxpayer money is spent wisely, and promotes accountability. By adhering to established rules and guidelines, procurement integrity safeguards against fraud and ensures that decisions are made based on merit, quality, and value rather than personal interests.
