2.11 World Bank consultancy policies and procedures
These guidelines define the World Bank's (the Bank's) policies and procedures for selecting, contracting and monitoring consultants required for projects which are financed in whole or in part by:
- A loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
- A credit or a grant from the International Development Association
- A project preparation advance
- A grant from the Bank
- A trust fund administered by the Bank and executed by a recipient
For the purposes of these guidelines the term 'consultant' includes a wide variety of private and public entities. The guidelines consider methods of selecting consultants, in particular, the quality and cost based selection approach. The guidelines also consider types of contracts and provisions. Annexes present the findings of a review of the selection of consultants and publication of the award of contracts, as well as 'Instructions to consultant' data sheets and guidance to consultants.
