Section I - Instructions to Applicants

A.General
1. Scope of Application 1.1 In connection with the invitation for Initial Selection
indicated in Section II, Initial Selection Data Sheet
(ISDS), the Employer, as defined in the ISDS, issues
this Initial Selection Document (“Initial Selection
Document”) to prospective applicants (“Applicants”)
interested in submitting applications (“Applications”)
for Initial Selection to submit Proposals for the Plant
Design, Supply and Installation described in Section
VII, Scope of Employer’s Requirement. In case
proposals for the Plant Design, Supply and Installation
are to be invited as individual contracts (i.e., the slice
and package procedure), these are listed in the ISDS.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) number corresponding
to this Initial Selection is also provided in the ISDS.
2. Source of Funds 2.1 The Borrower or Recipient (hereinafter called
“Borrower”) indicated in the ISDS has applied for or
received financing (hereinafter called “funds”) from the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
or the International Development Association
(hereinafter called “the Bank”) in an amount specified
in the ISDS, towards the cost of the project named in
the ISDS. The Borrower intends to apply a portion of
the funds to eligible payments under the contract(s)
resulting from the Request for Proposals (RFP) process
for which this Initial Selection is conducted.
2.2 Payment by the Bank will be made only at the request of
the Borrower and upon approval by the Bank, and will
be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of
the Loan (or other financing) Agreement. The Loan (or
other financing) Agreement prohibits a withdrawal from
the loan (or credit) account for the purpose of any
payment to persons or entities, or for any import of
goods, equipment, plant or materials, or services if such
payment or import, to the knowledge of the Bank, is
prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security
Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the
United Nations. No party other than the Borrower shall
derive any rights from the Loan (or other financing)
Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the loan
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 4

(or credit).
3. Fraud and Corruption 3.1 The Bank requires compliance with the Bank’s Anti-
Corruption Guidelines and its prevailing sanctions
policies and procedures as set forth in the WBG’s
Sanctions Framework, as set forth in Section VI, Fraud
and Corruption.
3.2 In further pursuance of this policy, Applicants shall
permit and shall cause their agents (where declared or
not), subcontractors, subconsultants, service providers,
suppliers, and their personnel, to permit the Bank to
inspect all accounts, records and other documents
relating to any Prequalification process, Initial Selection
process, Bid submission (in case prequalified), Proposal
submission (in case initially selected), and contract
performance (in the case of award), and to have them
audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.
4. Eligible Applicants 4.1 Applicants shall meet the eligibility criteria as per this
Instruction and ITA 5.1.
4.2 An Applicant may be a firm that is a private entity, a state-
owned enterprise or institution subject to ITA 4.9 - or any
combination of such entities in the form of a joint venture
(“JV”) under an existing agreement or with the intent to
enter into such an agreement supported by a letter of
intent. In the case of a joint venture, all members shall
be jointly and severally liable for the execution of the
entire Contract in accordance with the Contract terms.
The JV shall nominate an authorized representative who
shall have the authority to conduct all business for and
on behalf of any and all the members of the JV during
the Initial Selection process, RFP process (in the event
the JV submits a Proposal) and during contract
execution (in the event the JV is awarded the Contract).
Unless specified in the ISDS, there is no limit on the
number of members in a JV.
4.3 A firm is not permitted to participate for initial selection
for the same contract both as an individual firm and as a
part of a joint venture or as a subcontractor. However, a
firm may participate as a subcontractor in more than one
Application but only in the capacity of a subcontractor.
Applications submitted in violation of this procedure
will be rejected.
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 5

4.4 A firm and any of its affiliates (that directly or indirectly

control, are controlled by or are under common control
with that firm) are not permitted to submit more than
one application for initial selection for the same contract,
either individually, as joint venture or as a subcontractor
among them. Applications submitted in violation of this
procedure will be rejected.
4.5 An Applicant may have the nationality of any country,
subject to the restrictions pursuant to ITA 5.1. An
Applicant shall be deemed to have the nationality of a
country if the Applicant is constituted, incorporated or
registered in and operates in conformity with the
provisions of the laws of that country, as evidenced by its
articles of incorporation (or equivalent documents of
constitution or association) and its registration documents,
as the case may be. This criterion also shall apply to the
determination of the nationality of proposed specialized
sub-contractors or suppliers for any part of the Contract
including related Services.
4.6 Applicants and proposed specialized sub-contractors or
suppliers for any part of the Contract including related
services (for the purpose of this ITA 4.6 referred to as
“Applicants”) shall not have a conflict of interest.
Applicants shall be considered to have a conflict of
interest, if they, or any of their affiliates, participated as
a consultant in the preparation of the Employer’s
Requirement (other than design to be carried out as part
of this Plant Design, Supply and Installation contract) or
have been hired or proposed to be hired by the
Employer or Borrower as Project Manager for contract
implementation of the Plant Design, Supply and
Installation that are the subject of this Initial Selection.
In addition, Applicants may be considered to have a
conflict of interest if they have a close business or
family relationship with a professional staff of the
Borrower (or of the project implementing agency, or of
a recipient of a part of the loan) who: (i) are directly or
indirectly involved in the preparation of the Initial
Selection Document or Request for Proposals (RFP)
Document or specifications of the Contract, and/or the
Proposal evaluation process of such Contract; or (ii)
would be involved in the implementation or supervision
of such Contract, unless the conflict stemming from
such relationship has been resolved in a manner
acceptable to the Bank throughout the procurement
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 6

process and execution of the Contract.

4.7 An Applicant that has been sanctioned by the Bank,
pursuant to the Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines, and
in accordance with its prevailing sanctions policies and
procedures as set forth in the WBG’s Sanctions
Framework, as described in Section VI, paragraph 2.2 d.
shall be ineligible to be prequalified for, initially
selected for, bid for, propose for or be awarded a Bank-
financed contract or benefit from a Bank-financed
contract, financially or otherwise, during such period of
time as the Bank shall have determined.
4.8 The list of debarred firms and individuals is available as
specified in the ISDS.
4.9 Applicants that are state-owned enterprise or institutions
in the Employer’s Country may be eligible to be initially
selected, compete and be awarded a Contract(s) only if
they can establish, in a manner acceptable to the Bank,
that they (i) are legally and financially autonomous (ii)
operate under commercial law, and (iii) are not under
supervision of the Employer.
4.10 An Applicant shall not be under suspension from bidding
or submitting proposals by the Employer as the result of
the execution of a Bid or Proposal–Securing Declaration.
4.11 An Applicant shall provide such documentary evidence
of eligibility satisfactory to the Employer, as the
Employer shall reasonably request.
4.12 A firm that is under a sanction of debarment by the
Borrower from being awarded a contract is eligible to
participate in this procurement, unless the Bank, at the
Borrower’s request, is satisfied that the debarment:
(a) relates to fraud or corruption; and
(b) followed a judicial or administrative proceeding
that afforded the firm adequate due process.
5. Eligibility 5.1 Firms and individuals may be ineligible if they are
nationals of ineligible countries as indicated in Section
V. The countries, persons or entities are ineligible if (a)
as a matter of law or official regulations, the Borrower’s
country prohibits commercial relations with that
country, provided that the Bank is satisfied that such
exclusion does not preclude effective competition for
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 7

the supply of goods or the contracting of works or

services required; or (b) by an act of compliance with a
decision of the United Nations Security Council taken
under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
the Borrower’s country prohibits any import of goods or
contracting of works or services from that country, or
any payments to any country, person, or entity in that
country. When the Plant Design, Supply and Installation
is implemented across jurisdictional boundaries (and
more than one country is a Borrower, and is involved in
the procurement), then exclusion of a firm or individual
on the basis of ITA 5.1(a) above by any country may be
applied to that procurement across other countries
involved, if the Bank and the Borrowers involved in the
procurement agree.

minor deviations from the qualification criteria if they
do not materially affect the technical capability and
financial resources of an Applicant to perform the
Contract.
25.2 Subcontractors proposed by the Applicant shall be fully
qualified for their parts of the contract. The
subcontractor’s qualifications shall not be used by the
Applicant to qualify for the contract unless the
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 14

applicant designates them as Specialized

Subcontractors, in which case, the qualifications of the
Specialized Subcontractor proposed by the Applicant
may be added to the qualifications of the Applicant for
the purpose of the evaluation, if specified in ISDS.

25.3 In case of multiple contracts, Applicants should

indicate in their Applications the individual contract or
combination of contracts in which they are interested.
The Employer shall initially select each Applicant for
the maximum combination of contracts for which the
Applicant has thereby indicated its interest and for
which the Applicant meets the appropriate aggregate
requirements specified in Section III - Initial Selection
Criteria and Requirements.
25.4 Only the qualifications of the Applicant shall be
considered. The qualifications of other firms, including
the Applicant’s subsidiaries, parent entities, affiliates,
subcontractors (other than specialized subcontractors in
accordance with ITA 25.2 above) or any other firm(s)
different from the Applicant shall not be considered.
26. Employer’s Right to Accept 26.1 The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject any
or Reject Applicants Application, and to annul the Initial Selection process
and reject all Applicants at any time, without thereby
incurring any liability to the Applicants.
27. Initial Selection of Applicants 27.1 The range of Applicants that the Employer may
Initially Select (x=minimum number, y = maximum
number) is specified in the ISDS.
27.2 Initial Selection of Applicants involves several steps, as
follows:
(a) Step 1 - Table 1 Evaluation: The first step of
Initial Selection involves evaluation against the
methods, criteria and requirements described in
Section III, Table 1: Qualification Criteria and
Requirements;
(b) Step 2 - Rejection: Applicants that do not
substantially meet the qualification criteria and
requirements in Table 1: Qualification Criteria
and Requirements will not be evaluated further,
and will be eliminated from the Initial Selection
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 15

process;
(c) Step 3 - Long List: Applicants that
substantially meet the qualification criteria and
requirements in Table 1: Qualification Criteria
and Requirements will be long listed, and
evaluated further;
(d) Step 4 - Depending on the number of
Applicants that are long listed, one of the
following options will apply:
Option 1: All are Initially Selected: Where the
number of long listed Applicants is ≤x, all long
listed Applicants are Initially Selected. In this
scenario, there is no requirement to evaluate
these long listed Applicants against Table 2:
Rated Criteria and Requirements;
Option 2: Applicants are evaluated using
Table 2 Evaluation: Where the number of long
listed Applicants is ˃x, the Employer shall
evaluate all long listed Applicants against Table
2: Rated Criteria and Requirements. This
evaluation method involves scoring each
Application against rated criteria using the
scoring methodology described;
(e) Step 5 - Rank Applicants: The total scores,
from this step of the Initial Selection evaluation,
for each long listed Applicant are compared,
and the Applicants are ranked from the highest
to the lowest total score;
(f) Step 6 - Initial Selection up to x: In
accordance with the values selected by the
Employer for x and y, the Employer Initially
Selects the Applicants that are ranked from the
highest score, to the Application ranked as x;
(g) Step 7 - Reject y+1 Applicants: Where the
number of long listed Applicants is ˃y, the
Employer rejects all Applicants that are ranked
greater than y, i.e. ranked as y+1, y+2, y+3, etc.;
(h) Step 8 - Optional, at the Employer’s
Discretion: Ranked Applicants which are
greater than x, up to, and including y, are not
normally Initially Selected. However, the
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 16

Employer may, at its sole discretion, if justified,

Initially Select one or more additional
Applicants(s) from those that are ranked x+1,
up to and including y. This Initial Selection will
follow the order of ranking (i.e. the Employer
cannot Initially Select x+2, without Initially
Selecting x+1).
28. Notification of Initial 28.1 The Employer shall notify all Initially Selected
Selection Applicants in writing that they have been Initially
Selected. In providing this notification the Employer
shall include the names of all Applicants that have been
Initially Selected.
28.2 The Employer shall separately notify all other
Applicants that they have not been Initially Selected,
and that they have been eliminated from the process.
Any Applicant that has been eliminated from the
process at this stage may request, in writing, the
grounds on which they were eliminated.
29. Request for Proposals 29.1 Promptly after the notification of the results of the
Initial Selection, the Employer shall invite Proposals
from all the Applicants that have been initially selected.
29.2 Proposers may be required to provide a Proposal
Security or a Proposal-Securing Declaration acceptable
to the Employer in the form and an amount to be
specified in the RFP Document, and the successful
Proposer shall be required to provide a Performance
Security as specified in the RFP Document.
30. Changes in Qualifications of 30.1 Any change in the structure or formation of an
Applicants Applicant after being initially selected in accordance
with ITA 27 and invited to submit Proposal (including,
in the case of a JV, any change in the structure or
formation of any member and also including any
change in any specialized subcontractor) shall be
subject to the written approval of the Employer prior to
the deadline for submission of Proposals. Such
approval shall be denied if (i) an initially selected
applicant proposes to associate with a disqualified
applicant or in case of a disqualified joint venture, any
of its members; (ii) as a consequence of the change, the
Applicant no longer substantially meets the
qualification criteria set forth in Section III - Initial
Selection Criteria and Requirements Table 1-
Qualification Criteria, and Requirements; or (iii) no
Section I – Instructions to Applicants (ITA) 17

longer continues to be in the list of Initially Selected

Applicants as a result of the Employer’s re-evaluation
of the Application in accordance with ITA 27; or (iv) in
the opinion of the Employer, the change may result in a
substantial reduction in competition. Any such change
should be submitted to the Employer not later than
fourteen (14) days after the date of the Request for
Proposals.

Section VI - Fraud and Corruption

(Text in this Section VI 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
(b) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Bank’s inspection and
audit rights provided for under paragraph 2.2 e. below.
 Section VI – Fraud and Corruption 54

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 a firm or
individual ineligible (i) to be awarded or otherwise benefit from a Bank-financed
contract, financially or in any other manner; 12 (ii) to be a nominated13 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 request for bid/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 inspect14 all accounts, records
and other documents relating to the procurement process, selection and/or contract
execution, and to have them audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.

12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
