The project will focus on corruption issues and risks which are more specific to the procurement of PPP.
The scope will be limited to the situations where a private investor/operator is bidding for designing, financing, building or rehabilitating and operating a public infrastructure asset and compensated by the income deriving from its operation, by the public authority, by the users of the service or by a mix of the two.
The project deliverable is a UNECE standard preventing corruption in PPP procurement.
The proposed standard will cover the following topics: governance; integrity; efficiency; choice of procurement method; procurement steps; bidders information; confidentiality; corruption practices; compliance; debarment; auctioning concert; judicial review; transparency in publication and circulation of the information.
