Seoul Metropolitan Government Integrity Pact

Mission

Ensure transparency and integrity in public procurement processes across various sectors in the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Activities

The Seoul Metropolitan Government was the first contracting authority to implement an Integrity Pact in South Korea in 2000. In its first year, the IPs were applied to 62 contracts worth US$105 million. TI-Korea conducted a survey of the IP implementation in Seoul shortly thereafter in which private sector actors confirmed their view that the IPs helped promote integrity and prevent corruption in public procurement.
