Properties
Instance of
HonestyinProfessionalRepresentations
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#HonestyinProfessionalRepresentations
Applied to
Utility Authority QBS Procurement Administrator
Balancing with
Procurement Rule Strict Adherence Over Equitable Discretion
Concrete expression
Firm A's decision to openly disclose its team restructuring and seek formal amendment rather than submitting an unchanged qualification statement that no longer accurately reflected its proposed team reflects the professional honesty obligation to ensure that qualification representations are accurate and not misleading
Confidence
0.82
Importance
medium
Interpretation
Had Firm A restructured its team without disclosing the change or seeking amendment authorization, it would have presented a qualification statement that misrepresented its actual proposed team; the amendment request was therefore also an honesty obligation, not merely a competitive strategy
Invoked by
Firm A QBS Qualification Amendment Requesting Engineering Firm
Tension resolution
The honesty obligation to accurately represent the proposed team actually supports the amendment request: submitting an outdated qualification statement would itself have been a form of misrepresentation
