In his dissertation, Diangsa explains the importance of the principle of good faith in contracts for the procurement of government goods and services, namely the duty of care (prudence principle) which was held at the pre-contract stage and the duty of loyalty (compliance principle) which was carried out at the contract and post-contract stages and both. In principle has been widely recognized in government procurement regulations.
