TITLE XIX PUBLIC BUSINESS
Chapter 287 Procurement Of Personal Property And Services
PART I COMMODITIES, INSURANCE, AND CONTRACTUAL SERVICES (ss. 287.001-287.1345)
287.001 Legislative intent.
287.001 Legislative intent.--The Legislature recognizes that fair and open competition is a basic tenet of public procurement; that such competition reduces the appearance and opportunity for favoritism and inspires public confidence that contracts are awarded equitably and economically; and that documentation of the acts taken and effective monitoring mechanisms are important means of curbing any improprieties and establishing public confidence in the process by which commodities and contractual services are procured. It is essential to the effective and ethical procurement of commodities and contractual services that there be a system of uniform procedures to be utilized by state agencies in managing and procuring commodities and contractual services; that detailed justification of agency decisions in the procurement of commodities and contractual services be maintained; and that adherence by the agency and the contractor to specific ethical considerations be required.
