# When procurement is assigned its desired outcome in advance

This article examines pressure on buyers and approvers in private companies and public procurement chains. Need, criteria, selection, acceptance and payment have different bases. Company discounts, genuine commissions and possible undue advantages cannot be merged.

For subordinates, procurement workers, suppliers' employees and relatives helping clarify participation.

Inside:

- Does preferring a supplier already prove bribery?
- How does an organisational discount differ from a personal benefit for a decision?
- Do private companies and public buyers follow identical rules?
- Does an intermediary remove questions about a payment's purpose?
- Do others' signatures and a manager's promise remove your responsibility?

All scenes are hypothetical. Bribery, applicable law, guilt, contract legality and protected disclosure are unestablished. No universal safe refusal or absolute confidentiality is promised. Trial participation, provocation and concealment are not proposed. Immediate danger needs appropriate urgent local help.
