Period covered by this Procurement Plan: [18 months]
Preamble
In accordance with paragraph 5.9 of the “World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers”
(July 2016) (“Procurement Regulations”) the Bank’s Systematic Tracking and Exchanges in
Procurement (STEP) system will be used to prepare, clear and update Procurement Plans and
conduct all procurement transactions for the Project.
This textual part along with the Procurement Plan tables in STEP constitute the Procurement Plan
for the Project. The following conditions apply to all procurement activities in the Procurement
Plan. The other elements of the Procurement Plan as required under paragraph 4.4 of the
Procurement Regulations are set forth in STEP.
The Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents: shall be used for all contracts subject to
international competitive procurement and those contracts as specified in the Procurement Plan
tables in STEP.
National Procurement Arrangements: In accordance with paragraph 5.3 of the Procurement
Regulations, when approaching the national market (as specified in the Procurement Plan tables
in STEP), the country’s own procurement procedures may be used.
When the Borrower uses its own national open competitive procurement arrangements as set
forth in [Procurement Law of Afghanistan dated 27/06/1395 (September 17, 2016) published
in Official Gazette NO 1223], such arrangements shall be subject to paragraph 5.4 of the
Procurement Regulations and the following conditions.
I. Standard bidding documents approved by the Association shall be used.
II. Invitations to bid shall be advertised in at least one (1) widely circulated national
daily newspaper and bidding documents shall be made available to prospective
bidders, at least twenty-eight (28) days prior to the deadline for the submission of
bids.
III. Bids shall not be invited based on percentage premium or discount over the
estimated cost.
IV. Bidding documents shall be made available, by mail or in person, to all who are
willing to pay the required fee.
V. Foreign bidders shall not be precluded from bidding.
VI. Qualification criteria (in case pre-qualifications were not carried out) shall be stated
on the bidding documents, and if a registration process is required, a foreign firm
determined to be the lowest evaluated bidder shall be given reasonable opportunity
of registering, without any hindrance.
VII. Bidders may deliver bids, at their option, either in person or by courier service or
by mail.
VIII. All bidders shall provide bid security or a bid security declaration form as indicated
in the bidding documents. A bidder’s bid security or the declaration form shall apply
only to a specific bid.
IX. Bids shall be opened in public in one place preferably immediately, but no later
than one hour, after the deadline for submission of bids.
X. Evaluation of bids shall be made in strict adherence to the criteria disclosed in the
bidding documents, in a format, and within the specified period, agreed with the
Association.
XI. Bids shall not be rejected merely on the basis of a comparison with an official
estimate without the prior concurrence of the Association.
XII. Split award or lottery in award of contracts shall not be carried out. When two (2)
or more bidders quote the same price, an investigation shall be made to determine
any evidence of collusion, following which: (A) if collusion is determined, the
parties involved shall be disqualified and the award shall then be made to the next
lowest evaluated and qualified bidder; and (B) if no evidence of collusion can be
confirmed, then fresh bids shall be invited after receiving the concurrence of the
Association;
XIII. Contracts shall be awarded to the lowest evaluated bidders within the initial period
of bid validity so that extensions are not necessary. Extension of bid validity may
be sought only under exceptional circumstances.
XIV. Extension of bid validity shall not be allowed without the prior concurrence of the
Association (A) for the first request for extension if it is longer than four (4) weeks,
and (B) for all subsequent requests for extensions irrespective of the period in case
of prior review.
XV. Negotiations shall not be allowed with the lowest evaluated or any other bidders.
XVI. Re-bidding shall not be carried out without the Association’s prior concurrence in
case of prior review; and
XVII. All contractors or suppliers shall provide performance security as indicated in the
contract documents. A contractor’s or a supplier’s performance security shall apply
to a specific contract under which it was furnished.

procurement arrangements are applied by the Borrower, such arrangements shall be subject
to paragraph 5.5 of the Procurement Regulations.
