The article analyzes the theoretical and legal foundations of mixed and unnamed (innominate) contracts, as well as their potential to reduce corruption risks, particularly in ensuring transparency in public procurement and social programs. It highlights problems arising in Uzbekistan due to the use of standard contracts or the absence of contracts in programs such as greenhouse construction and the provision of sewing machines to certain segments of the population. Additionally, the article examines international experiences from Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Ukraine, Georgia, Chile, Japan, the USA, and other countries, showing that mechanisms like e-procurement, open contracting, and integrity pacts are often legally characteristic of mixed or unnamed contracts. The article concludes that strict reliance on standard (named) contracts—especially in large-scale social programs—without considering local conditions and beneficiary interests creates an environment conducive to corruption. In contrast, mixed and unnamed contracts allow adaptation of the contract to the activity, focus on user interests, pay based on “results achieved,” and combine anti-corruption measures (integrity clauses, monitoring, open data) into a single comprehensive legal document.
