This report provides the findings of an administrative inquiry by the World Bank Group Integrity Vice Presidency (NT) into allegations of misconduct in connection with the Second Private Sector Competitiveness Project (the Project) in Uganda. Evidence indicates that Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I submitted false financial information in their bids for contracts under the Project. Evidence also indicates that Company J may have submitted Company X 's information as its partner without Company X~^!!^s knowledge or permission. Evidence further indicates that Company B and Company F made improper payments to a government employee to be awarded contracts under the Project. The World Bank Group imposed a sanction of debarment with conditional release on Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. The ineligibility extends to any legal entity directly or indirectly controlled by the debarred entities. NT was unable to seek the imposition of the World Bank Group administrative sanctions against Company J because INT was unable to obtain sufficient evidence to prove that Company J engaged in a sanctionable practice.
