Policy Guidelines for Managing Unsolicited Proposals in Infrastructure Projects (Self-Paced)
To ensure that governments can mobilize the strengths of the private sector while protecting the public interest, USPs, when accepted, should be managed and used with caution, as an exception to the public procurement method. To help with this, the World Bank has carried out a comprehensive review of the various method for managing and responding to USPs and put together a consolidated set of literature on this topic.
This course is built on three documents which include: i) Main Findings and Recommendations that is considered as a summary; ii) Policy Guidelines for Managing Unsolicited Proposals in Infrastructure Projects, which provides key policy decisions and considerations for the USP Policy; and Review of Experiences with USPs, an in depth review of global best practices with USP policies and projects, the findings of which informed the development and considerations of the Guidelines.
