The inquiry examines allegations of corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, and/or coercive practices in relation to World Bank-supported activities under the Coastal Cities Environmental Sanitation Project in Vietnam. The report explains the purpose, limits reliance for legal or administrative actions, and describes privileged protections, then outlines background contract arrangements and key evidence related to contract expansion staffing representations.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSocialist Republic of Vietnam  \nCoastal Cities Environmental Sanitation Project  \nRedacted Report  \nDecember 2021  \nStatement of Use and Limitations  \nThis strictly confidential report (the “Report”) was prepared by the World Bank Group (the“WBG”) Integrity Vice Presidency (“INT”) . 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 Anti-corruption 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. The WBG reserves the right to invoke these privileges and immunities, including at any time during the course of an investigation or a subsequent judicial, administrative or other proceeding that your authorities may pursue in connection with this matter. These privileges and immunities cannot be waived without the prior express written authorization ofthe WBG.  \nBackground  \nIn March 2007, the International Development Association (“IDA,” the “World Bank” or the“Bank”) entered into a Development Credit Agreement with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (“Vietnam”) for the Coastal Cities Environmental Sanitation Project (the “Project”) . 1 The Project was financed by an IDA credit and two trust fund grants. The Project became effective in June 2007 and closed in November 2014. In May 2011, another credit was signed to provide additional funding for the Project.  \nThe Project sought to improve environmental sanitation in Project cities in a sustainable manner, and thereby enhance the quality of life for city residents. The Project was carried out along the coast of central Vietnam.  \nIn 2011, Company X, as the lead partner in association with Company Z, signed a Project contract with a municipal Project Management Unit (“PMU 1”) worth approximately United States Dollars (“US$”) 750,000 to provide services for a sub-Project (“Contract 1”) . Company X named Company Z as its sub-consultant for Contract 1.  \nContemporaneously, Company X signed a second Project contract with a different municipal Project Management Unit (“PMU 2”) for US$ 650,000 to provide services to another sub-Project (“Contract 2”) . Company X also named Company Z as its sub-consultant for Contract 2.  \nIn November 2013, Company X and PMU 1 signed an amendment to Contract 1 (the “Contract 1 Expansion”) that increased Contract 1’s value by approximately US$ 300,000, extended Contract 1’s end date, and added staff to the project team.  \nAllegations  \nINT received an anonymous complaint alleging that staff members from a company ineligible to participate in Bank-financed activities (“Company Y”)2 worked with Company X in order to influence certain contract cost (i.e., contractor payment) estimates made by Company X. The complaint alleged that Company Y and its parent company (the “Parent Company”) would later benefit from this work if they received future contracts subject to those estimates.  \n1 IDA is one of
