Procurement Information on World Bank-Financed Projects

|
Most of the World Bank-financed projects in Albania are investment lending type. For this reason procurement is a critical element of project implementation and contributes in substantial measure to the success or failure of projects and programs. The responsibility for the implementation of the project and therefore for the award and administration of the contract, rests with the Borrower.
To that end, the Project Implementation Units are established for each project. The Bank for its part, is required by the Articles of Agreement to ensure that the proceeds of any loan are sued only for the purposes for which the loan was granted, with due attention to considerations for economy and efficiency. The Bank has developed its procurement guidelines, which must be strictly followed by the Borrower. For more information on the guidelines and the Standard Bidding Documents (used by the Borrower), please clik here.
If after notification of the contract award, a bidder wishes to ascertain the grounds on which its bid was not selected, it should address its request to the Borrower. If the bidder is not satisfied with the explanation given and wishes to seek a meeting with the Bank, it may do so by addressing the Regional Procurement Adviser for the Borrowing Country, who will arrange a meeting at the appropriate level and with the relevant staff.
