Core Procurement Principles
Economy
The economy principle takes into consideration factors that support value for money, such as

Core Procurement Principles
Fit for Purpose
The principle of Fit for Purpose applies both to the intended outcomes and the
procurement arrangements in determining the most appropriate approach to
procurement to meet the project development objectives and outcomes, taking into
account the context and the risk, value, and complexity of the procurement.
Integrity
The integrity principle refers to the use of funds, resources, assets and authority,
according to the intended purposes in a well- informed manner that is aligned with the
public interest and broader principles of good governance.
The Bank requires that all parties involved in the procurement process (Borrowers
and Sub-Borrowers, bidders, Consultants, Contractors and Suppliers, any sub-
Contractors, sub-Consultants, service providers or suppliers, any agents, and any of
their personnel) observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement
process of Bank-financed contracts. They must also refrain from fraud and
corruption, as defined in the Anti-corruption Guidelines (ACG).
