Guide: World Bank-financed contracts
Who may bid
Firms from all countries, except sanctions (Bank debarment list, UN sanctions). National competitive bidding stays open to foreign firms. A domestic preference margin sometimes applies. Joint ventures are accepted.
Who signs and who pays
The contract is signed with the country’s administration (ministry, project unit), not with the World Bank. Payment comes from the Bank’s loan or grant: through the project account or by direct payment from the Bank to the supplier. Usual pattern: 10–20% advance against a guarantee, then payments on delivery or progress.
The steps
1. Read the notice and obtain the documents. 2. Check the criteria: experience, turnover, similar contracts. 3. Prepare the bid security or bid-securing declaration. 4. Send your questions before the clarification deadline. 5. Submit on time, then follow the bid opening.
