No conflict of interest

A party with a conflict of interest will declare and address that interest as soon as the conflict is known to that party.

Rule of law

Parties will comply with all their legal obligations.

Anti-competitive practices

Intention to proceed

Parties should not seek or submit tenders without a firm intention and capacity to proceed with a contract.
