The Procurement Framework
The World Bank's Procurement Framework governs projects financed by Investment Project Financing (IPF). The Framework was launched in July 2016. It supports Borrower’s achieve value-for-money with integrity in delivering sustainable development. The Framework promotes flexibility in tailoring procurement approaches that are fit-for-purpose and reflect choice, quality, and value for money in public spending.  

Mandatory Documents
The Procurement Framework comprises mandatory requirements set out in the Regulations, Policy, Directive and Procedure. The Regulations govern the procurement of Goods, Works, Non-Consulting Services, and Consulting Services for IPF operations financed in whole, or in part, by the World Bank. The Regulations specify the rules that must be followed, but also provide flexibility for Borrowers to design the right approach to market taking into account country and project specific risks, issues and opportunities.

Supporting Documents
The application of the Procurement Framework is supported by a suite of Standard Procurement Documents (SPDs), Procurement Guidance, tools, and templates.
