Module 6: Preventing corruption in project construction

Project Code of Conduct

Ensure that the contract entered into between the project owner and each major project participant provides anti-corruption contractual commitments in relation to the project including:
- to act honestly and fairly
- not to commit bribery, fraud or other corrupt act
- not to provide or conceal defective work
- to pay on time
- not to submit a claim for approval, variation, extension of time or payment unless the party submitting the claim honestly believes that the contents of the claim are justifiable, true and accurate.
Encompass the above principles in a Project Code of Conduct applicable to all project personnel of the project owner, contractor, sub-contractors, suppliers and consultants.
Require all project personnel to sign the Project Code of Conduct upon their commencing work on the project, and annually thereafter for as long as their participation in the project continues.
Post the Project Code of Conduct in a prominent location at all project and site offices.
