Attachment A to the Conditions of Contract


Fraud and Corruption
(Text in this Appendix shall not be modified)
1. Purpose
1.1 The Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines and this annex apply with respect to procurement
under Bank Investment Project Financing operations.
2. Requirements
2.1 The Bank requires that Borrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank financing); bidders
(applicants/proposers), consultants, contractors and suppliers; any sub-contractors, sub-
consultants, service providers or suppliers; any agents (whether declared or not); and any of
their personnel, observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement process,
selection and contract execution of Bank-financed contracts, and refrain from Fraud and
Corruption.
2.2 To this end, the Bank:
a. Defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
i. “corrupt practice” is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or
indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of
another party;
ii. “fraudulent practice” is any act or omission, including misrepresentation,
that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to
obtain financial or other benefit or to avoid an obligation;
iii. “collusive practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed
to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the
actions of another party;
iv. “coercive practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or
harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to
influence improperly the actions of a party;
v. “obstructive practice” is:
(a) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering, or concealing of
evidence material to the investigation or making false statements to
investigators in order to materially impede a Bank investigation
into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive, or collusive
practice; and/or threatening, harassing, or intimidating any party to
prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the
investigation or from pursuing the investigation; or
27

(b) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Bank’s


inspection and audit rights provided for under paragraph 2.2 e.
below.
b. Rejects a proposal for award if the Bank determines that the firm or individual
recommended for award, any of its personnel, or its agents, or its sub-consultants,
sub-contractors, service providers, suppliers and/ or their employees, has, directly
or indirectly, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive
practices in competing for the contract in question;
c. In addition to the legal remedies set out in the relevant Legal Agreement, may
take other appropriate actions, including declaring misprocurement, if the Bank
determines at any time that representatives of the Borrower or of a recipient of
any part of the proceeds of the loan engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive,
coercive, or obstructive practices during the procurement process, selection and/or
execution of the contract in question, without the Borrower having taken timely
and appropriate action satisfactory to the Bank to address such practices when
they occur, including by failing to inform the Bank in a timely manner at the time
they knew of the practices;
d. Pursuant to the Bank’s Anti- Corruption Guidelines and in accordance with the
Bank’s prevailing sanctions policies and procedures, may sanction a firm or
individual, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time, including by publicly
declaring such firm or individual ineligible (i) to be awarded or otherwise benefit
from a Bank-financed contract, financially or in any other manner; 3 (ii) to be a
nominated4 sub-contractor, consultant, manufacturer or supplier, or service
provider of an otherwise eligible firm being awarded a Bank-financed contract;
and (iii) to receive the proceeds of any loan made by the Bank or otherwise to
participate further in the preparation or implementation of any Bank-financed
project;
e. Requires that a clause be included in bidding/request for proposals documents and
in contracts financed by a Bank loan, requiring (i) bidders (applicants/proposers),
consultants, contractors, and suppliers, and their sub-contractors, sub-consultants,
service providers, suppliers, agents personnel, permit the Bank to inspect5 all
accounts, records and other documents relating to the procurement process,

3
For the avoidance of doubt, a sanctioned party’s ineligibility to be awarded a contract shall include, without limitation, (i)
applying for pre-qualification, expressing interest in a consultancy, and bidding, either directly or as a nominated sub-
contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider, in respect of such
contract, and (ii) entering into an addendum or amendment introducing a material modification to any existing contract.
4
A nominated sub-contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider
(different names are used depending on the particular bidding document) is one which has been: (i) included by the bidder in
its pre-qualification application or bid because it brings specific and critical experience and know-how that allow the bidder
to meet the qualification requirements for the particular bid; or (ii) appointed by the Borrower.
5
Inspections in this context usually are investigative (i.e., forensic) in nature. They involve fact-finding activities undertaken
by the Bank or persons appointed by the Bank to address specific matters related to investigations/audits, such as evaluating
the veracity of an allegation of possible Fraud and Corruption, through the appropriate mechanisms. Such activity includes
but is not limited to: accessing and examining a firm's or individual's financial records and information, and making copies
thereof as relevant; accessing and examining any other documents, data and information (whether in hard copy or electronic
format) deemed relevant for the investigation/audit, and making copies thereof as relevant; interviewing staff and other
relevant individuals; performing physical inspections and site visits; and obtaining third party verification of information.
