Integrity in Public Procurement - Good practice from A to Z (OECD Report)

What role can civil society play in tackling corruption in public procurement, where governments and state-owned firms buy goods and services from the private sector?

Civil society, as a third, independent party in the public procurement process significantly contributes to its credibility amongst stakeholders and the wider public. The OECD’s publication - Integrity in public procurement: Good practice from A to Z- portrays numerous practical examples of measures that should be taken into account by governments when embracing anti-corruption strategies in public procurement.
