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. 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 February 2016, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“IBRD” or the“World Bank”)1 and the Republic of Georgia (“Georgia”) entered into a Loan Agreement for the East West Highway Corridor Improvement Project (the “Project”) in Georgia. In December 2017, additional financing was approved for the Project. The Project became effective in May 2016, and is scheduled to close in December 2020.  \nThe Project, implemented by the Roads Department of the Georgian Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure (“RDMRDI”), seeks to (i) reduce road user costs along the EastWest Highway Corridor section upgraded under the Project; and (ii) strengthen the capacity ofthe RDMRDI to manage the road network and the capacity of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development to provide an enabling environment to improve logistics services.  \nIn January 2016, RDMRDI published an Application for Prequalification Document (the“Prequalification Document”) for Contract X.2  \nIn March 2016, Company A submitted its Prequalification Document. Accordingly, Company A was prequalified to bid for Contract X.  \nIn December 2016, RDMRDI published the bidding documents for Contract X. In January 2017, Company A submitted its bid (the “Bid”) for the Contract with a bid validity of 120 days.  \nAt the early stage of evaluation, Company A’s bid was considered technically and substantially responsive and was ranked as the lowest priced responsive bid. During the evaluation process, RDMRDI twice requested that bidders extend their bid validity in order to allow RDMRDI complete the necessary evaluation and verification process. Company A declined to comply with the second extension request and informed RDMRDI that it would not extend its bid validity. Asa result, Company A withdrew from the bidding process.  \nCompany A is a large company, operating more than 35 fully-owned subsidiaries, including Company B and Company C. For the purpose of submitting its Prequalification Document and Bid, Company A, Company B, and Company C prepared the Bid.  \n1 IBRD is one of the five
