Parkroyal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur The Concept Not too long ago, someone wrote “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad man.” This has since being extended to any man that has some power over anything.

(Trainer-In-Attendance)

Experts identify procurement as one of the area most prone to corruption in the Banking, Oil and Gas, Trading, Health and education sectors. Corruption in procurement engenders bad choices, affects the efficiency of both private and public sector spending and donors’ resources. It creates waste and, ultimately, affects the quality of life for all mankind, health and education services and the opportunities they present to improve quality. Corruption also harms companies that produce goods and services in this area as it increases operation costs, reduce competitiveness and, in the medium term, is not good business.

Contracting is the main way a government operates and public money is spent. In this sense, contracts are the vehicles for implementing public policy. A significant portion of health and education expenditure goes to procurement or contracts for goods and services. It is edtimated that between 20-50% of the government health budget is used to produce drugs. Preventing and controlling corruption in procurement is, therefore, a determining factor in policy and project efficiency.
