[Principle] Probity [1] 
Probity concerns the fairness, impartiality and integrity of the process. It is important to treat, and interact with, potential suppliers consistently to ensure probity standards are met. Probity is also critical for value-for-money. Potential suppliers may decide against tendering if they doubt the fairness or impartiality of the process. Fewer solutions are then available and the bids less competitive. It is self-evident that probity should be considered throughout all phases of procurement.
