Integration within a team or several teams responsible for minor developments. These teams are also in charge of maintenance.

Context:

ONE is transforming its information system in order to implement procedures and tools to ensure that it is well aligned with the Office’s needs in terms of IT (and digital).

Conflicts of Interest

The notion of conflict of interest refers to any situation in which, during the awarding or execution, any person connected to a contracting authority in any way, as well as any person likely to influence the awarding or its outcome, has directly or indirectly a financial, economic, or other personal interest that could be perceived as compromising their impartiality or independence in the context of the awarding or execution.

The existence of a conflict of interest is in any case presumed:

1. As soon as there is kinship or marriage, in a direct line up to the third degree and, in a collateral line, up to the fourth degree, or in the case of legal cohabitation, between the natural person and one of the candidates or tenderers or any other natural person who, on behalf of one of these, exercises a power of representation, decision, or control;

2. The natural person is, themselves or through an intermediary, owner, co-owner, or active partner of one of the candidate or tendering companies or exercises, in law or in fact, themselves or, where appropriate, through an intermediary, a power of representation, decision, or control.

Any situation in which a natural person who has worked for a contracting authority as an internal collaborator, whether in a hierarchical relationship or not, as a concerned official, public officer, or any other person connected to a contracting authority in any way, subsequently becomes involved in a public contract/call for projects awarded by that contracting authority and where a link exists between the previous activities that the aforementioned person provided for the contracting authority and their activities within the framework of the contract/call for projects, is considered a conflict of interest. However, the application of this provision is limited to a period of two years following the resignation of the said person or any other way of ending the previous activities.

This provision gives the contracting authority, duly informed by the service provider, after verification of the situation, the possibility to terminate the contract/project for which the said provider is responsible without compensation. During these verifications, particular account will be taken of the information and justifications collected from the party concerned. In case of termination, a statement of the services performed will be drawn up for payment to the service provider.

In case of infringement (for example, if the service provider does not disclose the conflict situation), the finding by the contracting authority may result in the nullity of the contract/project. If no justification is provided at the request of the contracting authority, the service provider will not be entitled to any payment for services performed after the moment they should have become aware of the incompatibility.

For the purposes of the contract/project, the contracting authority may freely use the studies, reports, etc., prepared by the provider in execution of the contract/project. It may also exclude them from its contracts/calls for projects for a determined period.

ONE's preventive measures: An awareness note is automatically communicated when the provider’s profile is created.

Confidential Information

All information that ONE provides to the other party within the framework of this contract is considered Confidential Information (hereinafter referred to as "confidential information"). This does not apply to information that the parties designate as non-confidential.

The contractor will treat confidential information with the strictest confidentiality, use it only if required for the execution of the contract, and will not disclose it to any third parties, except with the prior, written, and formal authorization of the beneficiary.

The contractor will ensure that its employees, agents, and subcontractors are bound by the same duty of confidentiality by means of a written commitment on their part.

The contractor will only disclose confidential information to persons necessary for the execution of the contract. Unless there is written and formal authorization, they will also ensure that their staff, representatives, and subcontractors do not remove information from the beneficiary’s premises on any media or in any other way.

Confidential information may be disclosed if, and to the extent that, the law or a regulatory authority requires it. In this case, the contractor will immediately notify ONE in writing to allow it to prevent such disclosure by all possible legal means.

If confidential information is obtained by unauthorized persons or entities and the contractor becomes aware of it, the contractor will inform ONE immediately by telephone, e-mail, and subsequently by mail.

The rights and obligations of the parties arising from this article remain valid after the end of this contract.

If the contractor has breached the obligations concerning confidential information, ONE reserves the right to terminate the subsequent contract at any time, with a justified report.
