Specific sensitive information

Refers to legitimate needs for protection of trade secrets and proprietary information and other privacy concerns, as well as the need to avoid disclosing information that can be used by interested parties to distort competition in the procurement process. The country’s legal framework should include definitions and provisions to unambiguously identify and prohibit the disclosure of specific sensitive information.

UNCITRAL glossary defines:
