The Master Document was prepared by participating Multilateral Development Banks (“MDBs”) and reflects what are considered “best practices”. This SPD follows the structure and the provisions of the Master Document, except where specific considerations within the respective institutions have required a change.\nThis SPD has been updated to reflect the World Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers, July, 2016 as amended from time to time. This SPD is applicable to the selection of consultant(s), to provide Consultancy Services, funded, in whole or in part, by IBRD or IDA financed projects and whose Legal Agreement makes reference to the Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers.\nSpecifically, this SPD applies to consulting services under Projects with Project Concept Notes (PCN) Decision Notes dated on or before October 1, 2018.\nThe April 2021 version includes provisions to ensure that a firm disqualified by the Bank for non-compliance with SEA/SH obligations is not awarded a contract. The sample outline of the Terms of Reference (Section 7) has also been updated to reflect the Consultant’s duties in Works contracts, if applicable, where the Bank’s SEA/SH disqualification mechanism applies.\nThe text shown in Italics is “Notes to the Client”. It provides guidance to the entity in preparing a specific RFP. “Notes to the Client” should be deleted from the final RFP issued to the shortlisted Consultants.\nThis SPD can be used with different selection methods described in Bank’s Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers (available at www.worldbank.org), including Quality-Based and Cost-Based Selection (“QCBS”), Quality-Based Selection (“QBS”), Selection under a Fixed Budget (“FBS”), and Least-Cost Selection (“LCS”).
