The investigation was designed to determine whether the World Bank’s anticorruption framework was violated.

It provides the findings of an INT administrative inquiry (the“Investigation”) into allegations of corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, and/or coercive practices, as defined by the WBG for the purposes of its own policies, rules and procedures (the “WBG’s Anticorruption Framework”), in relation to WBG-supported activities. The purpose of the Investigation was to allow the WBG to determine if the WBG’s Anti-corruption Framework had been violated.  \nThis Report is being shared to ensure that its recipients are aware of the results of the INT Investigation. However, in view of the specific and limited purpose of the Investigation underlying this Report, this Report should not be used as the sole basis for initiating any administrative, criminal, or civil proceedings. Moreover, this Report should not be cited or otherwise referred to in the course of any investigation, in any investigation reports, or in any administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings.  \nThis Report is provided without prejudice to the privileges and immunities conferred on the institutions comprising the WBG and their officers and employees by their respective constituent documents and any other applicable sources of law.

These privileges and immunities cannot be waived without the prior express written authorization ofthe WBG.  \nBackground  \nIn August 2008, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD” or “The World Bank”) 1 and the Brazilian State of Amazonas signed a Loan Agreement for the Alto Solimoes Basic Services and Sustainable Development Project (the “Project”) . The Project was approved in February 2008 and closed in June 2014.  \nThe Project’s development objective was to improve the economic and social conditions of the Alto Solimoes Region by, among other things, improving access to potable water and basic sanitation. The Project was implemented by the Amazonas State Development Corporation (“CIAMA” -Companhia de Desenvolvimento do Estado do Amazonas), with oversight from the Amazonas State Planning Secretariat. The State of Amazonas set up a Project Implementation Unit (“PIU”), under CIAMA.  \nIn December 2009, Company A bid for a contract (the “Contract”) under the Project. In February 2010, Company A was awarded and signed the Contract, winning all Contract lots as the lowest bidder.  \nIn April 2010, Company B was selected to supervise Company A’s execution of the Contract. The total contract value was approximately R$35 million (about US$ 21 million) .  \nAllegations & Methodology  \nThe World Bank Group Integrity Vice Presidency (“INT”) received allegations regarding possible fraud, collusion, and corruption involving the Contract. As these allegations were in violation of the World Bank’s Anti-Corruption framework, INT opened an investigation.  \nAs part of its investigation, INT reviewed relevant documents, received information from World Bank Staff, and exercised the World Bank’s audit and inspection rights over Company A.  \nFindings  \nA. Evidence indicates PIU officials omitted to include in the Bid Evaluation Report information that could have disqualified Company A from being awarded the Contract.  \nEvidence indicates that the Bid Evaluation Report (“BER”) that PIU officials submitted for the World Bank’s “No Objection” to award the Contract to Company A failed to include
