1. The Procurement Framework  

The Procurement Framework
The World Bank's Procurement Framework governs projects financed by Investment Project Financing (IPF). The Framework was launched in July 2016.

The Regulations govern the procurement of Goods, Works, Non-Consulting Services, and Consulting Services for IPF operations financed in whole, or in part, by the World Bank. The Regulations specify the rules that must be followed, but also provide flexibility for Borrowers to design the right approach to market taking into account country and project specific risks, issues and opportunities.

Supporting Documents
The application of the Procurement Framework is supported by a suite of Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs), Procurement Guidance, tools, templates listed below.

5. Alternative Procurement Arrangements (APAs)

The use of Alternative Procurement Arrangements (APAs) was approved by the Board of the World Bank in July 2015 as part of the New Procurement Framework.

An assessment methodology has been developed and is being tested to assess the legal and regulatory framework, and the capacity and capability of a borrower implementing agency.  It uses as its base the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Developments (OECD) Methodology for Assessing Procurement Systems (MAPS).  The assessment methodology has been designed to include an additional Pillar, covering procurement operations and the use of minimum standards.  It also uses an evidence based approach, analyzing procurement data and, gathering the views of the Private Sector and Civil Society Organizations (CSO).

See the Draft Guide to the Assessment, English, Chinese.

The principles governing APAs consider whether agency procurement arrangements, including procurement performance and governance, provide assurance that the Bank’s financing will be used for the intended purpose(s), and in accordance with the Bank’s Core Procurement Principles:

·       Value for money
·       Economy
·       Efficiency
·       Integrity
·       Fit for purpose
·       Transparency
·       Fairness
