Powering Sustainable Development at Scale
The World Bank's Procurement Framework governs projects financed by Investment Project Financing (IPF) and helps borrowers deliver sustainable development while achieving value for money. The Framework outlines the rules on procuring Goods, Works, Non-Consulting Services, and Consulting Services, providing flexibility so that borrowers can tailor their market approach to specific needs and realities on the ground. The Framework is supported by Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs), Procurement Guidance, tools, and templates.

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

The Framework includes mandatory requirements set out in the Policy, Directive, Procedure, and Regulations, governing the procurement of Goods, Works, Non-Consulting Services, and Consulting Services for IPF operations. These documents provide rules and flexibility for Borrowers to design the right market approach, considering specific risks and opportunities.

Standard Form of Agreement for the Procurement of Su pplies

The new SFA templates included on this site replace the previous agency-specific templates (see: Note A) and should be used by Bank borrowers in contracting for all new engagements with UN agencies under Investment Project Financing.

The SFA templates include provisions requiring any UN agency proposed to be contracted by a Bank borrower to abide, in full, with the general terms and conditions of the respective SFA, including:

  1. Compliance with the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards and related reporting requirements, including for incidents and accidents; and

  2. Commitment to integrity reporting in accordance with the terms of the SFA template(s), including through established arrangements for such reporting with the World Bank’s Integrity Vice Presidency.

Notes:

A: The new SFA templates replace previous SFA templates with the following UN agencies:

  • Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
  • International Labor Organization (ILO)
  • International Organization for Migration (IOM)
  • United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
  • United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
  • United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
  • United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
  • United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
  • United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)
  • United Nations World Tourism Organization (WTO)
  • World Food Programme (WFP)
  • World Health Organization (WHO)
  • World Meteorological Organization (WMO)

B: For prospective engagements with UN agencies not listed above, acceptance to abide by the general terms and conditions in the respective SFA is a    prerequisite for further consideration.

C: The SFA template for Technical Assistance does not apply to UNICEF, which provides such services, where agreed, through the Delivery of Outputs.

D: The SFA template for the Procurement of Supplies only applies to the following UN agencies: UNICEF, UNOPS, WHO, and WFP.

Alternative Procurement Arrangements (APA)

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
