CROATIA DIGITAL, INNOVATION, AND GREEN TECHNOLOGY (DIGIT) PROJECT (P180755) PROCUREMENT PLAN (Textual Part) Project information: Digital, Innovation, and Green Technology (DIGIT) Project (P180755) Project Implementation agency: The Ministry of Science and Education (MSE) Date of the Procurement Plan: September 2023 Period covered by this Procurement Plan: First 18 months of project implementation. Procurement Framework. The Bank’s procurement framework effective as of July 1, 2016 will govern procurement under the Project. Procurement of contracts for goods, works, non-consulting and consulting services financed from the Project will be carried out in accordance with the World Bank Procurement Regulations for Investment Project Financing (IPF) Borrowers – Procurement in IPF of Goods, Works, Non‐Consulting and Consulting Services, (Regulations), Fourth Edition of November 2020. National Procurement Procedure (NPP) is one of the options provided by the Procurement Regulations. Approaching the national market, the country’s own procurement procedures may be used according to the national public procurement framework. NPP may be applied for selected contracts under the various grants programs and subject to meeting the requirements of the Procurement Regulations. Based on value and nature of a contract, and where there is a need for international expertise for a specific assignment, international market approach might be more appropriate. In addition, in case any of the grant beneficiaries is not subject to the Croatian Public Procurement Law, the applicable Procurement Regulations provide for the option of Commercial practices (par 6.50). The specific acceptable commercial practices will be elaborated in the Grants’ operations manual or the POM, as relevant. The World Bank’s “Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Projects Financed by IBRD Loans and IDA Credits and Grants,” (revised as of July 01, 2016) (Anticorruption Guidelines), will apply to the project. Standard Procurement Documents will be used as required by the Regulations. Complementing the Regulations are a series of Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs), Guidance, and a set of briefing, training and e-learning materials - all accessible through www.worldbank.org/procurement. The project will be subject to using the Bank’s electronic platform Systemic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP). STEP will be used by the PIU initially to create and later to revise the procurement plan for the project, and to monitor performance, manage and store related documentation for all steps in a 1 procurement activity. STEP includes both activities that are prior reviewed by the Bank and contracts subject to post review. For international procedures the procurement notices will be published automatically through STEP on the Bank’s external website and UNDB, as well as locally on the Ministry’s website, daily newspaper as relevant, and on the portal of Narodne novine. The thresholds for various procurement approaches and methods and respective review arrangements are outlined in the table below: Thresholds for Procurement Approaches and Methods (US$ thousands) Works Goods, IT and non- Shortlist of national consulting services consultants Open Open RfQ Open Open RfQ Consulti Engineering and internati nation internati nation ng construction onal al ≤ onal al ≤ services supervision ≥ < ≥ < ≤ ≤ 50,000 50,000 500 30 000 30 000 200 500 N/A Review Arrangements All >25 000 All > 10 000 All TORs and all contracts Direct Selection all > 80 Direct Selection all > 80 > 6 000 000 Individual consultants all TORs and all contracts > 500 Direct Selection all > 1 000 2 PROCUREMENT Croatia : Digital, Innovation, and Green Technology Project PLAN General Information Country: Croatia 2023-09-21 Bank’s Approval Date of the Original Procurement Plan: 2024-09-03 Revised Plan Date(s): (comma delineated, leave blank if none) Project ID: P180755 GPN Date: 2023-09-21 Project Name: Digital, Innovation, and Green Technology Project Loan / Credit No: IBRD / 95580 Ministry of Science and Education Executing Agency(ies): WORKS Activity Reference No. / Estimated Actual Am Bid Evaluation Report Loan / Credit N Market Approac Procurement Pro Prequalification High SEA/SH R Procurement D Process St Draft Pre-qualification Prequalification Evalu Draft Bidding Docum Specific Procurement Bidding Documents a Proposal Submission / Contract Complet Description Component Review Type Method Amount (U ount (US$ and Recommendation Signed Contract o. h cess (Y/N) isk ocument Type atus Documents ation Report ent / Justification Notice / Invitation s Issued Opening / Minutes ion S$) ) for Award Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned GOODS Activity Reference No. / Bid Evaluation Report Loan / Credit N Market Approac Procurement Pro Prequalification Estimated Am Actual Amount Process St Draft Pre-qualification Prequalification Evalu Draft Bidding Docum Specific Procurement Bidding Documents a Proposal Submission / Description Component Review Type Method and Recommendation Signed Contract Contract Completion o. h cess (Y/N) ount (US$) (US$) atus Documents ation Report ent / Justification Notice / Invitation s Issued Opening / Minutes for Award Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual Planned Actual DIGIT-GOODS-IT-162024 / Pr Programs for digital and gre Request for Quota Single Stage -
