                                  Foreword
           1.   This Standard Procurement Document (SPD), Request for Bids (RFB)- Framework
                Agreement (s) for Non- Consulting Services, has been prepared by the World Bank1
                (“Bank”) 
           2.   This SPD reflects 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
                service provider(s), to provide Non-Consulting 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.
           3.   The SPD includes provisions to ensure that a firm disqualified by the Bank for non-
                compliance with SEA/SH obligations is not awarded a contract.
           4.   Framework Agreements may be used to retain one or more qualified firms for
                multiple non-consulting services that: (i) are similar in nature and complexity; (ii)
                require similar qualifications; and/or (iii) are individually relatively small (economy
                of scale or scope). 
           5.   As the non-consulting services carried out under a framework agreement/s are more
                specifically determined during the call-off process, in most cases, it may not be
                practical to request a fully priced bid  in the Primary Procurement evaluation process. 
           6.   At the Primary Procurement stage, the Employer’s Requirements normally provide
                the objectives, background information and as much information as practically
                possible on the planned services (such as expected scope, locations if known, typical
                estimated person months requirements, qualifications requirements, expected typical
                deliverables) to enable firms to provide their technical proposals and rates for the
                services that may be required. The approach and methodology at the framework
                agreement level is to demonstrate the firms’ ability to carry out typical services to be
                called-off under the Framework Agreement.
