Dear Sir/Madam,

Declaration
 

1. Adherence to Code of Integrity:
   We commit to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity throughout the procurement process and contract execution. Our company agrees to abide by the Code of Integrity for Public Procurement as outlined below:
   • Corrupt Practices: We will not engage in any form of bribery, including offers or acceptance of bribes, rewards, or gifts, to gain an unfair advantage in the procurement process or to influence contract execution.
   • Fraudulent Practices: We will not make any omissions or misrepresentations that could mislead to obtain financial or other benefits or avoid obligations. This includes making false declarations or providing false information to secure a contract or during contract execution.
   • Anti-Competitive Practices: We will not engage in collusion, bid-rigging, or other anti-competitive arrangements that impair the transparency and fairness of the procurement process or establish non-competitive bid prices.
   • Coercive Practices: We will not harm or threaten to harm any individual or their property to influence their participation in the procurement process or affect contract execution.
   • Conflict of Interest: We will avoid any participation by our firm or its affiliates that might create a conflict of interest, such as involvement in consultancy contracts linked to this procurement, or having relationships with any official of the purchaser that could affect our bid or contract execution.
   • Obstructive Practices: We will not impede the purchaser’s investigation into any violations of the Code of Integrity by destroying, falsifying, or concealing evidence material to the investigation, or by making false statements to investigators.
2. Proactive Disclosures:
   We agree to:
   • Proactively declare any conflicts of interest, whether pre-existing or as they arise, during the procurement process or contract execution.
   • Disclose any previous violations of the Code of Integrity or debarments by other procuring entities, even if not explicitly requested in the bid documents.
3. Compliance Obligations:
   • We acknowledge that any breach of this Code may lead to actions including rejection of our bid, cancellation of contracts, or debarment from future procurements.
   • This declaration is made in accordance with the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, specifically Rule 173, and guidelines issued by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).
      

We affirm our commitment to ethical practices and look forward to participating in a transparent and fair procurement process.
 

Thank you for considering our bid.

Yours faithfully,
