Probity and conflicts of interest

Burke works with government agencies and with the vendors they buy from. We manage that in the open, with two rules.

Two rooms: what an agency tells Burke in confidence stays with the agency, and what a vendor tells Burke in confidence stays with the vendor; the two are never traded.

The empty seat: everything we say to one side is said as if the other were in the room.

We disclose to an agency, before any sourcing work, every vendor relationship relevant to the requirement. Burke is paid under the commercial agreements through which it resells, including any vendor rebates, and discloses those relationships to the agency before any sourcing work. No vendor pays Burke for a place on a shortlist or a recommendation. Where Burke is the prime contractor on a government contract, that is stated in the response, and the vendor is named.

We hold no public office and no interest in any vendor beyond the commercial agreements under which we resell. The Principal is the responsible officer for this statement.
