The Model Policy Framework on Vendor Sanctions (MPF) is a suite of policies and guidelines related to the sanctioning of vendors that have been found to have been involved in proscribed practices (fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion, unethical practices and obstruction). The MPF also provides Agencies with the procedures to disclose, through the UNGM, the names of entities and individuals that may have committed, through their actions or omissions, proscribed practices. One of the main goals of the MPF is the creation of strong, agency-specific systems that meet each agency’s needs and responds to its policies and capabilities and are able to harmonize with similar efforts throughout the UN System. To this end, it is expected that the MPF will be incorporated into Agency procedures and that, in due course, it will establish clear guidelines for their boards or committees to interpret and implement them.
