In this assignment, you will review an example of a procurement scandal on a project.

This is the procurement scandal

Procurement Fraud in Surrey NHS (UK)

Peter Lewis, formerly an NHS official, was sentenced in January to three and a half years in prison foraccepting 80,000 in bribes in exchange for awarding an IT contract that was worth nearly 1 million in the first year. Two instances a pattern do not make, but for our readers' amusement I'll point out that Lewis had been investigated earlier for favoring an HR company that employed a woman he was having an affair with. Who knew fraud could be so romantic?

Based on your review, you will create a list of detailed recommendations on how the procurement problem could be avoided on future projects. The recommendations must be very specific to the case provided by your instructor. You must base your recommendations on the procurement content in the course.
