This portal is the entry point for tools and other publications by Transparency International related to public procurement. It offers, for instance access to the CSPM, developed by TI-USA. This is a “red-flag tool” which can be used by independent, civil society monitors (for external monitoring) as well as by respective compliance officers within the procuring agency (internal monitoring). Also, the portal provides access to the integrity pacts overview, and, soon, to the Integrity Pacts in Public Procurement Implementation Guide.
