  7. Vendor diversity 10%
    i

    Members of Parliament (MPs) do not have direct, operational control over the specific vendors selected for government public works. However, they exert significant indirect influence by shaping procurement frameworks, passing supplier diversity laws, and conducting oversight.

    90    How spread out payments are: full marks when no vendor gets over 20% of the money, none when one vendor gets everything.
