Here is a conundrum almost all Canberra public servants will face in their career, sometimes regularly. You are sitting on a panel that is assessing bids - whether for a job, a grant or a supply contract. You soon realise you know one of the applicants.

   Social relationships can bias procurement and recruitment outcomes, perhaps far more so than financial interests.

What you do next, however, is far from clear. If the applicant is a relative, the right response is obvious: you declare the conflict of interest (or at least the perception of a conflict) and withdraw from the panel. If they are a close friend, you do the same.

But what if the applicant is a friendly acquaintance - perhaps a former colleague, or someone with whom you play sport or share a drink every few months or so?]\
