FR – May 2020 – L2 – Q5a – Ethical Dilemmas in Tendering Process

This question focuses on the ethical course of action in tendering when faced with insider information in the internal audit context.

Mrs. Stella Amoah (Stella), a Chartered Accountant and Head of Internal Audit in Ningo Communications Authority (NCA), is about to tender for a contract in Internal Audit Service. A new member of her team, Mr. Stephen Appiah Coker (Stephen), has been recruited from the Internal Audit Service, where he previously worked in the department responsible for devising the tender contract. Although Stephen was not involved with the tender process, his former colleague and friend is responsible for the tender specification document and the evaluation process.

Stephen had sight of some of the requirements and has offered to share with Stella information that may be of use when preparing the tender. However, this information is confidential and should not be seen by any of the tendering parties.

It will be an open tender process for both external and internal providers. Bids from external providers are being encouraged. The evaluation process has been designed with this in mind. If the contract is awarded externally, Stella will be unsure of her personal position in the organization. She understands that using any insider knowledge of the tendering process would be inappropriate when preparing the tender proposal, but she feels she would have a better chance of success if she used this confidential information.

Required:
Advise Mrs. Stella Amoah on THREE (3) courses of action she should take in order to act ethically in the tendering process given in the above scenario.
