The other elements of the Procurement Plan as required under paragraph 4.4 of the Procurement Regulations are set forth in STEP.

As part of project preparations and negotiations, it has been agreed that the Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents or other documents agreed with the Bank will be used for procurement with national market approach. When other national procurement arrangements other than national open competitive procurement arrangements are applied by the Borrower, such arrangements shall be subject to paragraph 5.5 of the Procurement Regulations. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC): The project provides for a CERC which is an ex-ante mechanism available to the Government for rapid access to financing to respond to an eligible crisis or emergency.

The specific details of the matching investment grant mechanism will be provided in the Project Operations Manual for the project.
