Preventing Conflicts of Interest in Federal Contracts

New rules aim to increase fairness in government contracting. This means companies bidding for federal contracts will need to disclose more information to prevent situations where their other connections could affect the impartiality of services. Citizens can therefore be more confident that taxpayer money is spent fairly and efficiently, and that contractor services are free from hidden influences.
Key points
Clear definitions and examples of situations that could lead to conflicts of interest in government contracts are introduced.
Companies are required to disclose information about potential conflicts of interest, increasing transparency.
Government agencies will have tools to avoid or mitigate conflicts of interest, protecting public interest.
