Civil Servants
19. Contracts with, purchases from or sales to Government Departments/Offices
19.1 A civil servant should not seek contracts with Government Departments or Offices for the supply of goods or services (other than for employment) either for his or her own benefit, or for any partnership or company with which he or she has an involvement in his or her private capacity or on behalf of other persons or organisations.
19.2 No Department/Office should knowingly undertake to contract for the supply of goods or services (other than for employment) with a civil servant or with any partnership or company with which a civil servant has an involvement in his or her private capacity.
19.3 No purchase should be made from, and no sale made to, a civil servant, or any partnership or company with which a civil servant has an involvement in his or her private capacity in respect of goods or services unless:
(a) the transaction is such as occurs in the ordinary course of business (e.g. the purchase of Government Supplies Agency publications or of Savings Certificates) or
(b) prior sanction has been obtained from the Department/Office in which the transaction arises, following consultation with the Department/Office in which the civil servant is serving.
19.4 A civil servant who enters into any undertaking, or who holds any outside interest or participates in any outside business affecting, or likely to affect, a State contract or the purchase or sale of State property must immediately disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest to the Secretary General or Head of Office. A civil servant should not accept a directorship (except as a nominee of a Minister) in any company holding a Government contract or in a company which may reasonably be expected to hold such a contract in future.
19.5 Civil servants shall not negotiate or arbitrate in any matter affecting a Government contract or the purchase from or sale of goods to the State where, in their private capacities, they are interested either as principals or as shareholders in a company being one of the principals in the matter under consideration.
