Abstract
All countries are keen to combat and reduce corruption in various areas of public and private sector work. One of the most prominent means of achieving this is avoiding conflicts of interest in the work of public administration in general and in government procurement in particular. In this regard, countries are guided by the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which has set specific obligations on countries in this regard. The research worked to clarify the concept of conflicts of interest in government procurement, its legislative basis, and the penalty for failure to avoid conflicts of interest in government procurement. The research treatment came according to a descriptive analytical approach, comparing it with French and Egyptian legislation. The research concluded that the Jordanian legislator's treatment of avoiding conflict of interest came through scattered texts and in legislations of different levels that do not rise to the level of comparative legislation or the requirements of United Nations Convention against Corruption. Among the research recommendations is the necessity of issuing Jordanian legislation at the level of a law that defines the controls for avoiding conflict of interest in government procurement in particular, and in various administrative work in general, similar to comparative legislation.
