Bidder anti-corruption controls

• Require any bidder which may win a contract over a reasonable value threshold to provide satisfactory evidence that it has implemented anti-corruption controls of the type referred to in the previous section (ACMS)

(A bidder with an effective ACMS is far less likely to act corruptly).

• Award additional evaluation points to a bidder which can provide third party certification of its ACMS. 

(It is significantly more difficult for a bidder to provide evidence of a false ACMS if it has received third party certification from a reputable certifier).

• Ideally, evidence will be in the form of certification to ISO 37001 by a reputable third party certifier.
• If no such certification exists, the party will need to provide alternative reasonable evidence of compliance.
