Integrity Pact

• The Integrity Pact is a concept proposed by Transparency International to help governments, business institutions, and the general public combat corruption in government procurement.
• The university has adopted the MOF Circular on Guidelines for Integrity Pact Implementation in Government Procurement to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure all procurements are conducted fairly and transparently.
• All parties involved in procurement activities must sign an Integrity Pact to increase the integrity and transparency of procurement activities. The party that have been identified are as follows:

1. Civil Servants involved in Procurement;
2. Members of the Procurement Related Committee;
3. Members of the Procurement Board/Committee;
4. Bidder;
5. Consultant; and
6. Vendor / Contractor

• The following are the primary goals for the implementation of the Integrity Pact:

1. To prevent staff, the board, suppliers and potential suppliers, members of procurement-related committees, and/or any other parties involved in the procurement process from accepting and/or offering bribes;
2. To require staff, the board of directors, suppliers and potential suppliers, members of procurement-related committees, and/or any other parties involved in the procurement process to report any bribery and corruption to the appropriate authorities.
3. To avoid any conflict of interest;
4. To ensure the university does not incur "unnecessary costs" in conducting procurement activities; and
5. To prohibit unauthorised use of UM's proprietary information.
