Preamble

In accordance with paragraph 5.9 of the “World Bank Procurement Regulations
for IPF Borrowers” (July 2016 and revised November 2017) (“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 the Borrower’s Public Procurement Law No
    10/010 of April 27, 2010 (PPL) and the Manual of Procedures of the PPL as
    per Borrower’s Decree No 10/22 of June 2, 2010, such arrangements shall
    be subject to paragraph 5.4 of the Procurement Regulations and the
    following conditions.
      (a) Standard Bidding Documents: All standard bidding documents to be
          used for the Project under NCB shall be found acceptable to the World
          Bank before their use during the implementation of Project;
(b)       Eligibility: Eligibility of bidders and acceptability of their goods and
      services shall not be based on their nationality and/or their origin; and
      association with a national firm shall not be a condition for participation
      in a bidding process. Therefore, except for the ineligibility situations
      referred to in paragraphs 1.10(a) (i) and 1.10(a) (ii) of the Procurement
      Guidelines, the eligibility of bidders must be based solely on their
      qualification, experience and capacity to carry out the contract related
      to the specific bidding process;
(c) Advertising and Bid Preparation Time: Bidding opportunities shall be
    advertised at least in a national newspaper of wide circulation and on

    30 days from the date of invitation to bid or the date of availability of
    the bidding documents, whichever is later;
(d)       Criteria for Qualification of Bidders: Qualification criteria shall
      only concern the bidder’s capability and resources to perform the
      contract taking into account objective and measurable factors. Such
      criteria for qualification of bidders shall be clearly specified in the
      bidding documents;
(e)      Bid Evaluation and Contract Award: A contract shall be awarded to
      the substantially responsive and lowest evaluated bidder provided that
      such bidder meets the qualification criteria specified in the bidding
      documents. No scoring system shall be allowed for the evaluation of
      bids, and no “blanket” limitation to the number of lots which can be
      awarded to a bidder shall apply. The criteria for bid evaluation and the
      contract award conditions shall be clearly specified in the bidding
      documents;
(f) Preferences: No preference shall be given to domestic/regional
    bidders;     to domestically/regionally manufactured goods; and to
    bidders forming a joint venture with a national firm or proposing
    national sub-contractors or carrying out economic activities in the
    territory of the Recipient;
(g)       Publication of Contract Award: Information on all contract awards
      shall be published in at least a national newspaper of wide circulation
      or in the Recipient’s Procurement Regulator (Autorité de Régulation des
      Marchés Publics) web-site;
(h)       Fraud and Corruption: In accordance with the Procurement
      Guidelines, each bidding document and contract shall include
      provisions stating the World Bank’s policy to sanction firms or
      individuals found to have engaged in fraud and corruption as set forth
      in the Procurement Guidelines;
(i) Inspection and Audit Rights: In accordance with the Procurement
    Guidelines, each bidding document and contract shall include
           provisions stating the World Bank’s policy with respect to inspection
           and audit of accounts, records and other documents relating to the bid
           submission and contract performance;
     (j) Requirement for administrative documents and/or tax clearance
         certificate: The bidding documents shall not require foreign bidders to
         produce any administrative or tax related certificates prior to
         confirmation of awarding a contract; and
     (k)      Modifications of a Signed Contract: Any change in the contract
           amount which, singly or combined with all previous changes, increases
           the original contract amount by fifteen (15) percent or more must be
           done through an amendment to the signed contract instead of signing
           a new contract.

    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.
