PROCUREMENT PLAN (Textual Part) Project information: Solomon Islands Sustainable Mining Development Technical Assistance Project (P173018) Project Implementation agency: Ministry of Mines, Energy and Rural Electrification Date of the Procurement Plan: ... 2021 Period covered by this Procurement Plan: whole project implementation period. Preamble In accordance with paragraph 5.9 of the “World Bank Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers” (July 2016, revised November 2017, August 2018, and November 2020) (“Procurement Regulations”) the Bank’s Systematic Tracking and Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) system will be used to prepare, clear and update Procurement Plans and conduct all procurement transactions for the Project. This textual part along with the Procurement Plan tables in STEP constitute the Procurement Plan for the Project. The following conditions apply to all procurement activities in the Procurement Plan. The other elements of the Procurement Plan as required under paragraph 4.4 of the Procurement Regulations are set forth in STEP. The Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents: shall be used for all contracts subject to international competitive procurement and those contracts as specified in the Procurement Plan tables in STEP. The Project will also use the Procurement Implementation Guidance: Making Procurement Work for Fragile and Small States in the Pacific under World Bank Investment Project Financing following the Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers [July 2016, revised November 2017, August 2018, and November 2020]. The Guidance is mainly based on the recognition that traditional international or national competitive processes may not be the most appropriate methods to achieve the vision of Bank-financed procurement, viz. “Procurement in IPF operations supports Borrowers to achieve value for money with integrity in delivering sustainable development”, given the prevailing geographic and market conditions in the Pacific. The Guidance includes notes in Parts I and II. Part III includes templates for use in projects, as appropriate, for preparing simple procurement documents and for providing inputs to Project Operational Manuals. National Procurement Arrangements: In accordance with paragraph 5.3 of the Procurement Regulations, when approaching the national market (as specified in the Procurement Plan tables in STEP), the country’s own procurement procedures may be used. When the Borrower uses its own national open competitive procurement arrangements as set forth in the Solomon Islands Government Procurement and Contract Administration Manual, version April 2013 which was developed under the SIG Financial Instructions and as mandated by the Public Finance and Audit Act of Solomon Islands, such arrangements shall be subject to paragraph 5.4 of the Procurement Regulations. When other national procurement arrangements other than national open competitive procurement arrangements are applied by the Borrower, such arrangements shall be subject to paragraph 5.5 of the Procurement Regulations. Leased Assets as specified under paragraph 5.10 of the Procurement Regulations: “Not Applicable” Procurement of Second Hand Goods as specified under paragraph 5.11 of the Procurement Regulations – “Not Applicable” Domestic preference as specified under paragraph 5.51 of the Procurement Regulations (Goods and Works).
