The report shares INT investigation findings while restricting use as a basis for administrative, criminal, or civil proceedings and limits citation in other proceedings. Background outlines the project’s financing, scope, effectiveness, and components. Findings conclude that a bidding company misrepresented experience, litigation history, and other credentials by submitting falsified documents and completion evidence for Contract X and purportedly performed Contract Y; corrective actions include conditional release with debarment.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nRepublic of Zambia  \nLusaka Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project  \nRedacted Report  \nJune 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 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 October 2013, the International Development Association (“IDA” or “the Bank”) 1 and the Republic of Zambia (“Zambia”) entered into a Financing Agreement for the Lusaka Distribution and Transmission Rehabilitation Project (the “Project”) in Zambia. The Project became effective in February 2014 and is scheduled to close in February 2021.  \nThe Project’s development objectives are to increase the capacity and improve the reliability of the electricity transmission and distribution system in the Lusaka area. The Project consists of three components: (i) rehabilitation of the 132kV and 88kV transmission network in Lusaka;  \n(ii) rehabilitation of the 33kV and 11kV distribution network in Lusaka; and, (iii) technical assistance and project management. The Project is implemented by ZESCO Limited, formerly known as Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (the “Employer”) .  \nAs part of the first component of the Project, the Employer issued the Bidding Documents for a Project-financed contract X (“Contract X”) . In February 2016, Company A submitted its bid for Contract X. In September 2016, Company A signed Contract X and subsequently started implementation.  \nAllegations & Methodology  \nINT received an allegation that Company A had misrepresented its credentials when bidding for Contract X.  \nINT reviewed relevant documents and conducted independent verifications.  \nFindings  \nEvidence indicates that in its bid for Contract X, Company A misrepresented its past experience, litigation history, and other credentials, submitting falsified documents in support of these representations.  \nThe Bidding Documents required bidders to demonstrate that they had undertaken at least two contracts worth no less than US$18 million or at least three contracts worth no less than US$ 10 million. In addition, bidders were required to provide documentation from client(s) demonstrating they had completed the claimed projects. Bidders were also required to provide their litigation history, demonstrating that they had no arbitral or court awards against them
