Purpose This paper aims to focus on understanding and preventing corruption in procurement in public sector settings. Just as not all corruption is the same, not all procurement is the same. One purpose is to analyze different types of procurements: standard, customized, intangible and complex. Corruption in procurement undermines public administration, and the purpose of this paper is to identify different types of procurements and provide readers with a framework for analysis and subsequent intervention. Design/methodology/approach In all, 42 actual cases of public sector corruption in procurement are examined, and from these, an analytical matrix is developed. These cases are derived from the reports of the New South Wales (Australia) Independent Commission against Corruption. These cases represent all of the procurement cases that the ICAC has taken to a formal hearing in its 30 years of existence. Findings While fraud is a major feature of corruption in procurement, there are significant organizational facilitators, and a number of slippage points in organizations are identified. These include peer culture, lack of due process, temptation and managerial incompetence/willful disregard, and these are built into a matrix which can be used in different countries or settings by readers wishing to understand and prevent different types of corruption in procurement in their agencies. Originality/value This paper uses cases that have not previously been aggregated or analyzed and provides analytical tools for practitioners and academics.

Abstract Public procurement refers to the acquisition of goods and services by government in order to facilitate the efficient operationalisation of the state machinery. Public procurement however extends beyond transactions to acquire commodities to “the relationship between the state and its suppliers, and between the state and the commodity transaction”. Global political hierarchies, with affluent democracies at the apex, play a dominant role in how states like Lesotho, with little political agency internationally buy and sell commodities and what terms and conditions attach to such transactions. This paper argues that the architecture of public procurement policy in Africa generally and Lesotho specifically is anchored in neoliberalism which emerged as the dominant economic theory globally after the end of World War II. Corruption which is critical in public procurement because of the huge quantities of commodities often being transacted and the volume of money involved in the procurement process. This creates substantial opportunities for public officials with the propensity to be corrupt because of the high profitability attached to these large procurements. According to the director of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO), public procurement in Lesotho is the most vulnerable area to corruption and public procurement cases form 99% of corruption cases handled by the DCEO in 2016. The paper argues that he most combative and dictatorial mechanism of the neoliberal approach to anti-corruption and public procurement policies in Lesotho is the lack of consideration for local contexts, particularly when such policies are adopted litereratim. The slow erosion of corruption, particularly in public procurement in Lesotho is testimony to the futility of neoliberal policies in the country. Officials often adopt neoliberal policies disingenuously and masquerade them as actual reform. Alternatively, policies are adopted to comply with foreign aid requisites or to guarantee Lesotho’s place in global trade. At close inspection, the public procurement legal regime reveals weaknesses which are antithetical to the enthusiastic anti-corruption narratives that the Lesotho government performs to appease donors. Political agents in Lesotho often condemn corruption and reiterate a commitment to corruption-free procurement processes, however, overt corruption that permeates all sectors in the country contradicts this narrative. This paper provides an appraisal of the Public Procurement Regulations of Lesotho as anchored in the neoliberal approach. It argues that the socio-political nuances in Lesotho are in fundamental conflict with the neoliberal theory, making legal enforcement of the regulations extremely difficult.

Full textAbstract:
The huge spending on public procurement makes public procurement is very vulnerable to corruption. Many governments around the world have adopted Electronic Procurement (E-Procurement) to increase transparency, improve accountability, and reduce corruption with variable success. Government of Indonesia adopted E-Procurement in 2008, while Government of India introduced E-Procurement in 2012. Even though E-Procurement has been implemented for quite a long time in those two emerging countries, only limited research exist on the impact of E-Procurement in reducing procurement corruption. By using the combination between quantitative and qualitative methods, this study attempts to assess the extent to which the impact of E-Procurement implementation on procurement corruption cases in Indonesia and India. The findings suggest that Indonesian provinces with high capital expenditure ratio, are more vulnerable to corruption and implementation of E-Procurement was impactful on reducing the number of procurement corruption cases in such provinces. Meanwhile in India, the effect of E-Procurement was not impactful enough to reduce a notably large number of procurement corruption at the state governments because E-Procurement implementation at the state level in some degree was bothered by low competency and professionalization staff and also high political interference in state administrations. The study contributes to limited empirical research on the effect of E-Procurement on corruption.

Even though the relevance of corruption is very high in all fields of activity, the specialized literature in the field of public procurement has paid very little or even no attention to this crucial phenomenon. The field of public procurement presents a high risk of corruption, the evidence being the large number of high-level corruption cases in several Member States of the European Union. The study presents the specialized literature related to corruption in public procurement in the European Union and United States of America, analyzes the level of corruption in public procurement in Romania, the causes that generate corruption and the main measures to combat it. The article also presents the results of a survey realized among the purchasers from Romania which addresses the main elements of corruption in the field of public procurement. The survey analyzes issues related to corruption in public procurement in Romania, such as: level of corruption, control over corruption, frequency of occurrence of corruption acts, procurement procedures most prone to corruption, characteristics of the procurement procedures that favors the occurrence of corruption, most widespread way of manifesting corruption, most important consequence of corruption, percentage of increasing contract costs due to corruption, most effective anti-corruption measure.

I investigate the design of optimal procurement mechanisms in the presence of corruption. After contracting with the sponsor, the contractor may bribe the inspector to misrepresent quality. The mechanism affects whether bribery occurs. I discuss the cases of both fixed and variable (with the size of misrepresentation) bribes, and also uncertainty about the bribe amount. In all cases, the optimal contract curtails quality for low efficiency contractors but also for the most efficient contractors. I also present models of bribe negotiations whose reduced form coincide with the model analyzed in the paper, and discuss implementation and the effect of competition. (JEL D73, D82, D86, H57, L15)

Purpose Corruption affects development and quality of life of citizens in affected countries. The increase in anti-corruption measures globally reflects a consensus that corruption is pervasive and costly. Public procurement is one area in which corruption manifests because of the sums of money involved; the asymmetry of information; and the bureaucratic nature of decision-making, which presents opportunities for abuse. In developing countries, procurement corruption is rife because of institutional weaknesses, lack of enforced accountability mechanisms and culture of silence in relation to public sector malfeasance. Design/methodology/approach This paper examines procurement corruption in countries with systemic corruption, using Nigeria as a case study, to determine how to reduce public procurement corruption. Findings The paper will highlight prevalent corrupt schemes in public procurement in Nigeria, examine the reasons for the failure of state anti-corruption institutions and analyze the kinds of initiatives that reduced procurement corruption and increased accountability in other countries and the utility of adopting such mechanisms in the Nigerian context.

The goal consists on examination of fundamentals of application of anti-corruption measures in the sphere of state (municipal) procurement. Analysis is conducted on the existing within scientific literature approaches towards development of anti-corruption remedies, as well as on theoretical grounds of criminological theory of security measures. Characteristics is given to anti-corruption measures in the sphere of state (municipal) procurement. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the characteristics of anti-corruption measures in the sphere of state (municipal) procurement, which have not previously been the subject of research. The author analyzes the theoretical framework for application of security measures overall and anti-corruption measures in particular; as well as the goals, content, subjects and classifications of anti-corruption measures in the sphere of state (municipal) procurement. Examples of such measures established in current anti-corruption legislation with regards to state (municipal) procurement are provided. The conclusion is formulates that anti-corruption measures within the system of corruption prevention in the indicated sphere require further research. Therefore, it seems reasonable to advance criminological theory of security measures and anti-corruption remedies. Moreover, systematization of knowledge on such measures is essential for future improvement of lawmaking and law enforcement activities in the sphere of state (municipal) procurement.

Cases of corruption in Indonesia, especially in the sector of government procurement of goods and services, continue to increase every year. The government has reduce the rate of corruption in the procurement through electronic procurement. But the reality of corruption is still increasing. The authors are interested in building a conceptual framework for good governance and incorporating elements of local culture in electronic procurement to reduce corruption. The principle of good governance in electronic procurement can prevent corruption by applying the principles of participation, transparency, responsiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, strategic objectives, accountability and local cultural values. The purpose of this research is to get a clear and measurable conceptual framework in reducing corruption in government procurement of goods and services. This research method is to use literature review with content analysis. The results of this study are that corruption can be reduced by using electronic procurement if it uses the principles of good governance and there are controlling variables, namely internal supervision, law enforcement and improvement of facilities, infrastructure, leadership commitment and improvement of human resources to carry out electronic procurement according to the rules.

In Indonesia, corruption is rampant in the procurement of goods and services. The institution authorized to deal with corruption is the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). One of the tasks of the Corruption Eradication Commission is to carry out surveillance and preventive actions so that there are not many corruption cases that can harm the country but the prevention function has not been maximally implemented. Therefore, the author proposes the issue of how is the juridical study of Corruption Eradication Commission’s preventive function in eradicating corruption of the electronic procurement of goods and services in DKI Jakarta province? The author analizes the problem using normative research methods, with the technique of research legislation approaches. Corruption in the procurement of goods and services is very widespread because there are still gaps or weaknesses used to commit corruption. Existing weaknesses include regulation, principles in procurement of goods and services, supervision, and implementation of procurement of goods and services. Likewise, the implementation of KPK in terms of prevention is still lacking. The KPK should be an institution tasked with eradicating corruption. In addition to supervision, the KPK should prioritize implementing prevention so that corruption does not occur. The thing that can be done by KPK includes tightening supervision in the procurement of goods and services.

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that occurred in every country. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported in 2013 that about 10-25 percent of the value of public procurement in the whole world, including Indonesia, was corrupted. Based on the data of Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), corruption cases in public procurement is in the highest rank compared to the others. Using a game theoretical approach, this study aims to analyze the procurement process of public goods and services of the Indonesian Government, which has adopted the electronic system, called e-procurement. The game is played sequentially by two representative agents, namely the organizer (government) and the provider. It is assumed that the organizer has a non-corrupt nature. This study results that e-procurement is not significantly able to reduce corrupt behavior. It happens because, although the procurement process is conducted electronically, both sides still have the possibility to meet for negotiation, which can lead to corruption. Therefore, the key to preventing corrupt practices in public procurement is to avoid the two players’ meeting.

The article is devoted to the analysis of current regulations in the field of defense procurement. The importance of the problem of corruption for the people of Ukraine is highlighted. The threat to national security caused by high levels of corruption is mentioned. A number of studies on the spread of corruption in the defense sector are processed, in particular by such public organizations as the Independent Anti-Corruption Committee on Defense, Transparency International UK, Transparency International Ukraine and others. Attention is drawn to the presence of a large number of corruption risks in the defense sector. The Law of Ukraine “On Defense Procurement”, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on July 17, 2020, was analyzed. Attention is paid to the fact that the Law of Ukraine “On Defense Procurement” provides for the purchase of goods, works and services for defense purposes, which is a state secret, through closed procurement, and it also regulates the absence of competitive procedures for procurement by import by making purchases directly through electronic trading platforms. Some aspects of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement” used in defense procurement are considered. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the Law of Ukraine “On Defense Procurement” helps to overcome most of the corruption risks identified in the study of the Independent Anti-Corruption Committee on Defense, however, it also needs significant improvement, as some provisions contain gaps that lead to new corruption risks, if they are not corrected.

We provide evidence of corruption in allocation of public procurement and assess its efficiency. Firms with procurement revenue increase tunneling around regional elections, whereas neither tunneling of firms without procurement revenue, nor legitimate business of firms with procurement exhibits a political cycle. Data are consistent with the corruption channel—cash is tunneled to politicians in exchange for procurement contracts—and inconsistent with alternative channels. Using the strength of correlation between procurement revenue and tunneling around elections as a proxy for local corruption, we reject the “efficient grease” hypothesis: in more corrupt localities, procurement contracts go to unproductive firms.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on research that evaluates the perceived willingness of potential bidders to adopt public e-procurement for the supply of goods and services to the government of Nepal. The authors have identified anti-corruption attributes through an extensive literature review and developed a theoretical model representing the impact of four latent variables, monopoly of power, information asymmetry, trust and transparency and accountability on the dependent variable, the intent-to-adopt e-procurement (ITA). Design/methodology/approach – Data for this research were obtained by the use of a questionnaire survey of bidders who were officially registered with the Government of Nepal. As part of the fieldwork for this research, the first author collected the perceptions of 220 bidders regarding the potential of public e-procurement to reduce corruption in public procurement processes. Findings – The findings suggest that a high level of the ITA has a positive and significant relationship with the independent variables that might inform the developed and emerging countries to make a decision to adoption of e-procurement to combat corruption in public procurement. Research limitations/implications – This study has some limitations that should be taken into consideration. The evaluation of anti-corruption factors, as they affect the willingness of users to adopt e-procurement on the bidder’s perception research model is relatively new to e-procurement research. A limitation of the research was that it gathered and analyzed data from a single country with a limited number of respondents. More research is needed to identify the anti-corruption factors of e-procurement in reducing corruption, and also need strong empirical test to valid the factors that influence the adoption of e-procurement. Originality/value – This study aimed to contribute to the academic scholar, government agencies and public procurement practitioner in enhancing their understanding of the perceived anti-corruption factors of public e-procurement to reduce corruption.

Abstract Corruption and public procurement often go together, at least in Italy. Corruption must be continuously fought and it is also necessary to find appropriate ways for preventing it. However, this is not easily achieved, because of the wide-ranging features of corruption, the variety of its causes and the sensitivity of the issue, including at political level and in particular where public procurement is concerned. This type of corruption has its own specific characteristics, stemming from the specificities of public procurement such as: the need for direct interaction between public officials and the private sector at every stage, from die award up to the execution of the contracts; the complexity of the legal and technical regulations on public procurement; the difficulties related to financing and thus also to payments. In all these aspects, public procurement can create opportunities for corruption, not only for sporadic, individual corruption but also for systemic corruption, which affects public administration and society as a whole, and involves organised crime to a steadily increasing extent. Since a long time, national, European and international bodies and institutions, as well as legal doctrine, have been looking into appropriate solutions to corruption in public procurement, giving also useful advice to lawmakers. In Italy, since 2012, such a reflection has led to the adoption of new legislative measures, which have recently culminated in the setting up of the Italian Anti-Corruption Authority.

Objective - Transparency is promoted as one of the most important measures against corruption. E-government provides greater access to information that can subsequently increase transparency, accountability, and be used as an effective anti-corruption tool. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between e-government and corruption. Methodology/Technique - To gain more insight, we also investigate the effect of e-procurement as one of the e-government initiatives for tackling corruption. We use observations from local government (districts and cities) in Indonesia during the period 2012–2015. Findings - The results show that e-government implementation is associated with lower corruption. E-government reduces corruption by removing discretion, thereby curbing the opportunities for arbitrary action that often result in corruption. Novelty - Moreover, the results also show that adopting e-procurement increases transparency and accountability through increased competition among bidders and enables real-time access to information, which ultimately reduces corruption in public procurement.

The author sets a task to analyze and generalize the established within scientific literature approaches towards explanation of the determinants of corruption crime in the indicated sphere, as well as to systematize such determinants by content and origin. The scientific novelty consists in systematization and generalization of scientific knowledge on the determinants of corruption crime in the area of state (municipal) procurement. The author explores subjective and objective determinants of corruption crime in this field, and based on their content, reveals the socio-psychological, socio-economic, political, legal and organizational-administrative determinants of corruption crime in the area of state (municipal) procurement. The conclusion is made that due to continuous reform in the corresponding legislation in this area, as well as the instability of socioeconomic situation for ensuring the prompt adaptability of the system of corruption prevention in area of state (municipal) procurement, it is necessary to provided regular monitoring of the determinants of such type of crime.

The concept of public procurement is revealed. It has been determined that public procurements should be considered as a set of step-by-step actions, which form a holistic, regulated by the law (Law of Ukraine «On Public Procurement») procedure. The purpose of the public procurement procedure is to implement the functions of the public administration.The following definition of corruption risk in public procurement is given – this is the probability of a corrupt act, and will negatively affect the achievement of certain goals and objectives of public procurement. It is proved that corruption risks can arise at different stages of public procurement.The following possible corruption risks in the implementation of public procurement are defined: the creation of such a composition of participants, which makes it possible to avoid the use of bidding procedures with certain restrictions and, instead of using more simplified procedures, including direct conclusion of contracts or purchase from one executor; development of technical conditions or technical tasks with the purpose of promoting the sale of a particular product or service or preventing participation in the bidding of potential participants; determination of discriminatory criteria for the evaluation of tender (price) offers with respect to certain suppliers that are completely incompatible with the requirements of actual procurement; аbuse of «closed» tendering procedures (bidding with limited participation, request for quotations (quotations) or purchase from a single executor, etc.); development of contracting arrangements with the apparent intention of assisting a particular supplier; acceptance from the tenderers of incorrect information or tender (price) proposal prepared (th) in violation of the established requirements; manipulation of the decision-making process within the framework of the work of the tender committee.

In March 2012, Parties to the World Trade Organization's (WTOs) plurilateral Agreement on Government Procurement agreed to a revised text to govern public purchasing of goods and services. On 2 May 2013, the first Party to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) ratified the Amendment. While structurally significantly different from the current text, the revised Agreement's substantive differences are modest. One significant change, however, was the addition of direct language on corruption prevention. Given the extent of corruption plaguing procurement, there is no doubt that corruption prevention goals in this context are needed. The mention of corruption, therefore, is welcome. It is also noteworthy because it is the first time the WTO Members, or even a subset of them, have made an explicit reference to the issue. This article examines the direct and indirect references to the duties of corruption-reduction found in the revised agreement on government procurement and considers what such references are worth in practice and to the global efforts to control corruption.

Public procurement, and if by title most of it is public, leaves an impressive marginal gray area in the work of the state administration, the areas left more or less individually controlled by the private sector and the state administration.However, the perception of the public as well as of many participants in the process is "something dubious in the procurement contract".Implementing an efficient and effective public procurement system based on transparency, competition and integrity is not a simple matter. A procurement system with very low levels of transparency and lack of competition was a great opportunity for corruption and it is therefore very important to raise awareness in order to achieve the defective activities that these shipments are suitable for.EU regulations that are purposefully designed to regulate the field of public procurement have been in existence for 40 years and are constantly being updated in the implementation of new initiatives, in particular giving the opportunity to use e-government tools. The previous Laws on Public Procurement of Montenegro have "liberated" and incorporated a large part of the "security" systems and norms that face corruption.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to frame the causal relationships between corruption in public procurement and performance of local governments. Design/methodology/approach An outcome-based dynamic performance management approach is adopted to explore a representative case study of a small Italian municipality. The model is based on three sources: qualitative primary data generated by face-to-face convergent interviews; secondary data retrieved from documents describing legal cases linked to procurement and open-access repositories; and an extensive literature review. Findings Emphasizing the role of community civic morality systemically may help to understand some counterintuitive results in the past research and support decision-makers and policymakers in setting effective strategies to curb the associated negative implications. Social implications A dynamic approach of performance management aimed at framing corruption in public procurement may guide policymakers and decision-makers in keeping their “cognitive radar” constantly active, in a way to detect emerging corruptive phenomena that could be otherwise ignored by normal diagnostical approaches. It may also help to promote organizational ethical learning and improve community outcomes. Originality/value This research provides a causal and systemic framework of relationships involving local government performance and wrongdoings in public procurement, by including performance risk indicators linked to structural and individualistic causes of corruption.

Public procurement is a complex process. With the help of public procurement, governments and government agencies purchase products, services, work, creating expenditures of the state budget and taxpayers. The purpose of implementing the e-procurement system was to reduce these costs and overcome the corruption component in this area. However, there are still many issues related to the inefficiency of certain components of this system. It is determined that domestic scientists identify a narrow range of benefits of the public procurement system, which is reduced to overcoming corruption and saving budget funds. The domestic scientists identify a narrow range of benefits from the use of public procurement. This is overcoming corruption and saving budget funds. In contrast, the foreign scientists see the public procurement system as an effective tool for sustainable development, innovation. The article analyzes the shortcomings and weaknesses of public procurement at each stage of their implementation, which allows identifying the main areas of improvement of the public procurement system, and summarizes the main advantages.

Relevant governmental bodies and organizations, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and institutions, especially the media, show increased interest in corruption related to the public procurement. Public procurement is the most frequently cited area in the context of systemic corruption for the simple reason that it directly represents the spending of public money on a large scale, which according to OECD data represents about 7-15% of GDP. One of the possible approaches to prevent corruption in public procurement is the systematic building of the integrity of all entities and institutions involved in the public procurement process. Due to the fact that the internal audit way of organization and work is closest to practical issues of public procurement it has the opportunity to achieve the largest coverage of cases for which public funds are engaged.

Since South Africa’s political transition in 1994, corruption has been a major feature of the country’s politics. However, the complexity of post-apartheid South African politics has sometimes prevented allegations and suspicions of corruption from being adequately dealt with by the law. This article examines the legal framework used to combat public procurement corruption in South Africa. Using a comparative approach, the article also examines the legal framework of Hong Kong – with a view to identifying lessons that South Africa can learn therefrom. Such lessons include but are not limited to Hong Kong’s specific laws dedicated to public procurement, its particular legislative and institutional features, its commendable constitutional commitment to eradicating corruption, and the fact that Hong Kong’s rules pertaining to procurement processes are more consistent and are not hidden in several legislative prescripts. South Africa may also do well to learn from the successes of Hong Kong’s iconic anti-corruption agency, the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) – in attempting to model its own anti-corruption agency.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effect of Public Procurement Act (PPA), 2007 in curbing corruption in public services in Nigeria. The research is prompted by the sheer waste of public resources in the process of public procurements which necessitated the enactment of the PPA in 2007. The operations of the Act requires constant appraisal in order to achieve the desired objectives, hence the main goal of this study. Convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from a sample of 50 staff from 3 select MDA’s operating at the FCT, Abuja. Questionnaires were used to collect data and this was administered through personal delivery. The survey questionnaire measured the different dimensions of corruption in public service in Nigeria. The research design used 2 scales to collect the data. The nominal scale was used to collect personal information about respondents while an open ended questionnaire format was used to measure the response of all dimensions on subject matter .Data analysis was performed with the aid of simple percentages and descriptive statistics. Result obtained establishes that the PPA has helped to curb corrupt practices, improved on transparency and accountability in procurement process. It has minimized discrimination in the awards of contract. It has also helped to facilitate the procurement of works, goods and services in the select MDA’s. Most of the respondents opined that they have adequate value for money in their procurements but that goods and services procured may not have been delivered on time. The major problems confronting procurement practice in some of the select MDA’s include lack of experienced staff and inadequate training. Thus, the study recommends a strong commitment to capacity building and the political will to implement the PPA at all tiers of government in Nigeria. The federal government should be determined in her resolve to fight corruption. This is very crucial for an effective public procurement practice in Nigeria

This article discusses issues related to the monitoring of the quasi-public procurement system in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The topic under study is one of the relevant to date, as the state has to face with the increased pressure on the state budget in the context of the financial crisis and unstable economic situation in the world. In general, attention needs to be paid to budget spending in the quasi-public sector through monitoring and careful analysis to ensure the effectiveness of procurement procedures in the sector and to avoid unnecessary expenditure. The article is about the study of the current state, problems and prospects of creating and realization of the mechanism for monitoring procurement in the quasi-public sector, identifying administrative and corruption risks. The share of procurement in quasi-public sector entities has a special role in the procurement market. Therefore, it is so important to create favourable conditions devoid of corruption in the field of public procurement and to have a transparent and effective system of the state financial control. The article provides a detailed analysis of the scope of procurement in this area, describes measures to reduce corruption risks and ensure transparency of procurement. The author proposed a number of recommendations that would lead to a reduction in corruption components in this area as a result of the analysis on the existing problem in the procurement sector of the quasi-public sector.

According to the KPK corruption crime data for the years 2004 to 2020, the overall number of corruption cases in Indonesia's goods/services procurement sector were 20.8% of all corruption cases by type of case,. Implementing electronic procurement is one approach to get around this. The inadequate internal control system of the government is another element that creates a potential for fraud. The goal of this study was to ascertain the impact of putting internal controls and electronic procurement into place on preventing fraud in the Cimahi City Government's procurement of goods and services. This research uses a quantitative type research with a causality descriptive approach. The subject data and primary data sources used in this study were gathered through the distribution of questionnaires to 33 Procurement Officials at LPSE Cimahi City. The study's results demonstrated that the electronic procurement and government internal control system both significantly and positively impact fraud prevention.

Corruption is thought to affect developed economies to a greater degree than developing countries. However, given our limited capacity to detect corruption, it may simply be harder to detect it in countries with stronger institutions. This article sets out to address this measurement challenge and to offer a tailored approach to one particular type of corruption: high-level corruption in government contracting. We describe a recently developed method to score procurement contracts for corruption risk. Then, using micro-level data from Hungary and the Czech Republic we analyze how corruption can distort public procurement markets, mapped as networks of buyers and suppliers. Proxying for corruption using a composite index of red flags derived from contract awards, we find that public sector buyers with high corruption risk have sparser network neighborhoods, meaning that they contract with fewer suppliers than expected. We interpret our results as evidence that corruption in procurement markets is fundamentally about the exclusion of non-favored firms. Political change has a significant effect on corrupt relationships: High corruption risk buyers with sparse neighborhoods rewire their contracting relationships roughly 20–40% more extensively than other buyers across years with government turnover. The article demonstrates how the political organization of corruption distorts market competition in OECD countries.

However, it still needs to be anticipated because there are always irregularities that usually occur, namely corruption. This research aims to determine how the amendment of the public procurement regulation in the Presidential Regulation 12/2021 especially for MSEs and cooperatives, and also how to assess the Presidential Regulation 12/2021 can reduce the potential for corruption in the process of public procurement. This research uses a normative method with a comparative approach and a statutory approach. The results of this research indicate the Presidential Regulation 12/2021 are the elimination of medium-level enterprises, the government's obligation to allocate a minimum budget of 40%, and also increase the budget ceiling for MSEs and cooperatives up to IDR 15 billion. E-Procurement for MSEs and cooperatives still has the potential for corruption, but with the new policy in the form of competency certification, and if there is an increase in regulations from the National Procurement Board (LKPP) in terms of provider qualifications, procurement can produce quality and efficient products.

When emergencies arise, corruption levels rise even higher. It is a global phenomenon that the swift nature of disaster response becomes susceptible to ethics violations and non-compliance with procurement processes. This also means that opportunities arise for a wide range of procedure deviations that are likely to involve ethics malpractices. The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest global disaster that has brought procurement corruption to the fore. This has certainly been the case in South Africa since March 2020. This article presents four incidents (scenarios) where ethics malpractices linked to procurement were found and reported on; then it goes on to analyse these incidents. A qualitative approach is used to analyse the scenarios. The main objective of this analysis is to add practical evidence to prevailing literature on public service ethics linked to procurement. The scenarios are analysed and situated in the context of some of the dominant ethics theories. This is done to arrive at the article’s main question: Why are ethics important in times of disaster? The article ultimately presents some scholarly reflections emanating from the analysis of the four scenarios. The prevailing opinion is that the interface between procurement and corruption remains fragile and necessitates continued efforts towards more tangible approaches in the fight against corruption. then presents some reflections on this question in the context of building a capable developmental state.

Full textAbstract:
The paper applies a typology of agency models of corruption, based on the conformity of principal and agent’s preferences to the “ideal” preferences of society. The proposed approach has allowed to theoretically substantiate the existence of new models of corrupt behavior, quasi- and totalitarian corruption, and subsequently to reveal cases of such agents’ behavior in the public procurement practice. In conditions of inefficient regulation, developed by the mala fide principal, bona fide agents in an effort to best meet the needs of society may violate certain provisions of regulatory legal acts or regulatory policy principles (quasi-corruption) whilst the mala fide agents do the same things for bribes (efficient corruption). On the other hand, in some cases the agents have to act in accordance with the inefficient regulation, being deprived of the possibility to violate it (totalitarian corruption). In the paper, the discussion of assumptions of different models, presented in the typology, including quasi- and totalitarian corruption, has been found in the academic literature. The paper examines the hypothesis that the proposition of Russian single-source procurement regulation which directly restricts annual small purchasing of contracting authorities provokes totalitarian corrupt behavior of buyers making them use electronic reverse auctions instead of single-source procurement to award small contracts.

This predominates when there is a lack of transparency, inadequate record-keeping, and low public accountability. Accordingly, the questions this paper intends to provide answers to are two-fold. Firstly, what are the recurring patterns of procurement corruption in the South Africa (SA) public sector? Secondly, how can digital technology deployment assist in checking this trend? The desktop method was adopted through literature examination of studies relating to corruption, procurement, blockchain and digitization. We conclude by proposing a model/framework for adopting and using blockchain technology in public institutions to minimise corruption and the time taken for contract document preparation and acceptance. This study contributed to knowledge by evaluating the issues associated with public procurement and how blockchain and digitization can be adopted to help stern the tide of corruption in public institutions.

The public procurement as a process by which governments, as well as other bodies governed by public law, purchase products, services, and work, create the cost to the state budget, and taxpayers. The high value of transactions and close interaction between public officials and businesses expose public procurement to corruption risk. According to the Serbian legislation, violation of public procurement rules can be qualified as misdemeanour or crime. The specific crime of abuse in public procurement has been introduced in the criminal legislation by 2012 amendments to the Criminal Code. In addition to the repressive response to the corruption in public procurement, the potential abuses can also be prevented by other measures. To prevent irregularities and decrease vulnerabilities to corruption, a new Law on Public Procurement was passed in December 2019. Therefore, in this paper, authors analyse criminal provisions aimed to deter possible offenders, but also assessed other non-criminal provisions and the functioning of control mechanisms, such as supreme audit and internal financial control in the Republic of Serbia. In the paper, authors strive to make recommendations for improving the prevention and repression mechanisms against abuse in public procurement procedures.

Public procurement is the main area of corruption in the government. This study aims to examine the correlation between government expenditure audit conducted by BPK and local government corruption behavior. This study uses a fixed effect panel regression approach and the dependent variable is the value of irregularities in the public procurement sector in all local governments in Indonesia. This study found that the government expenditure audit carried out in the previous period correlated with changes in local government corruption behavior. Local governments will reduce corruption behavior as an implication of changing views and calculating expected cost corruption based on their experience of being audited. Besides, local governments expect their probabilities to be re-audited. It is evident in the local government which has not been audited for three years that it will try to reduce its corrupt behavior because it is expected that this year will be audited again. This study suggests an increase in audit frequency that is expected to decrease the aggregate corruption level in public procurement in local government.

In Morocco, public procurement represents 17.4% of GDP, equivalent to 195 billion dirhams in 2018 (Maghreb Arab Press, 2018), which makes it more exposed to unhealthy practices that can be engaged both by officials and operators across all stages of the procurement process. Above all, such practices create a climate devoid of transparency and generates weaknesses in public procurement systems. It is, therefore, essential for the Moroccan administration to integrate anti-corruption measures into the procurement process. Among these anti-corruption measures, there is the " e-procurement " which all specialists in the field of public control unanimously assume that it has become key in the promotion of competition, transparency, integrity, simplification of procedures, and modernization of public expenditure execution processes. Moreover, they admit that it contributes to a large extent to reduce corruption without destroying it. To inquire about the veracity of the contribution of the e-procurement to the efficiency of public order, a questionaire was administered to four co-ordinators and four companies of different working fields in the city of Meknes. The objective is to explore the relationship between e-procurement and the fundamental principles of public control. Eventually, the results of this study revealed that eprocurement is determinant to the effectiveness of public procurement.

Empirical methods include the steps of collecting information and collecting official data, materials from scientific conferences and interviews. Theoretical methods provide for the formalization of the heterogeneous information received on the processes under study in the public procurement system.The results of the studies showed the need for selective statistical observation, despite the cancellation of continuous monitoring since 2015 due to the start of the full functioning of the unified information procurement system (hereinafter – the UIPS) on the website www. zakupki.gov.ru. Reports based on data from the UIPS, as well as the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia and the Treasury of Russia from 2015 to 2017 had been prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and from 2018 by the Ministry of Finance of Russia. During such a transfer of authority, for example, the number of applications submitted per one competitive procedure dropped out of the number of the monitored indicators. However, since 2018, more attention has been paid to procurement on the basis of paragraphs рр. 24, 25 part 1 of article 93 of 44-FZ, providing for the possibility of concluding a contract with a single supplier due to failed tender procedures. The value of contracts on these grounds amounted to 2,755 billion rubles (or 43.78 billion US dollars) in 2018 with an upward trend in 2019, and amounted to 29% of the total value of the concluded contracts. A common way of making such purchases with high corruption risks is to conspire with participants in procurement procedures that have received the name «Battering ram operation» at electronic auctions, as well as formulating difficult conditions and high requirements for performers, with poor public examination of the state contract.In conclusion, it should be noted that selective statistical surveys should supplement the available information of the UIPS with data on procurement from a single supplier, and the selection of a separate category of contracts concluded as a result of failed procedures of a massive nature. The prepared proposals contribute to the implementation of order of the President of the Russian Federation to strengthen the effectiveness of control in the procurement of goods, works and services to ensure state and municipal needs dated December 17, 2018 No. Pr-2417 and implementing of national anti-corruption plan.

Full textAbstract:
The pace of infrastructure development in Indonesia is increasing rapidly, this is a form of the government's commitment to improving people's welfare. The pace of infrastructure development in reality often has problems, including failure to build. The absence of criminal provisions in Presidential Regulation Number 12 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Presidential Regulation Number 16 of 2018 concerning Procurement of Government Goods and Services has resulted in the blurring of the boundaries of the criminal and civil realms as well as administrative law in setting sanctions for providers of goods and services deemed negligent. This is often seen in cases of corruption in the procurement of goods and services, which often attracts service providers to become one of the perpetrators of criminal acts. This situation is clearly wrong, because not all acts of service and goods providers can be said to be related to the occurrence of corruption in the procurement of goods and services. This study aims to further analyze the legal protection for service and goods providers in cases of corruption in the procurement of goods and services. The method in this writing is normative. Based on the existing studies, it can be seen that the implementation of criminal sanctions for corruption in the procurement of goods for infrastructure development has not been based on the legal politics of procurement of goods, so that the criminal sanctions are still unclear, because the issue of procurement of goods should not be directly subject to criminal sanctions as an ultimum remidium, considering the procurement of goods regulated by administrative law not criminal law, while criminal threats are only as a last resort when violations in the realm of procurement of goods in infrastructure development are not controlled.
