An integrity pact is a multi-party agreement by a public body seeking to procure goods and services of significant value. As a tool for preventing corruption in public contracting, companies interested in bidding to supply the goods and services give a third party organisation, such as a civil society organisation, a role in monitoring compliance with the pact.
The agreement includes a written commitment by all parties to respect specific integrity standards during the procurement process.[1] It typically also includes a process for reporting concerns about corruption and fair competition. Some integrity pacts also include sanctions mechanisms.[2]
According to the European Commission, the objectives include:[3]
Increase transparency, accountability and good governance in public contracting
Enhance trust in public authorities and contribute to their better reputation
Improve competition, promote cost efficiency and savings through better procurement
Integrity pacts are promoted and supported by a German-based anti-corruption organisation, Transparency International,[4] which first developed the concept in the 1990s.
