UNE-EN 17687:2023 specifies requirements and guidance to improve integrity and accountability in public procurement processes, from the identification of needs to the delivery of goods, services or work contracts.
From the document, we highlight Annex B (Informative) on risk management during the public procurement process.
Stakeholder management, incentives, control mechanisms and other tools to ensure compliance and code of conduct and performance evaluation are some of the topics developed in the standard.
UNE-EN 17687:2023 is a standard for good governance that applies to purchasing organisations, partners and decision-makers plus their staff.
This standard may affect suppliers and individuals acting in support of or on behalf of suppliers, including subcontractors, official bodies of Member States, and European agencies involved in the public procurement process. It is also relevant to organisations representing suppliers at a national or European level.
