  • YEAR CREATED: 2015
  • ENTITY TYPE: Scholarly Publication

The document discusses the World Bank's procurement process and the systems used to track and analyze efficiency. It mentions two specific systems: PROCYS, which records the time taken for each stage of the procurement process, and MNA-dash, which focuses on the execution of the loan portfolio. However, these systems do not provide organization-wide data to analyze the efficiency of the procurement process across the World Bank. To address this, a unique dataset was constructed to measure the efficiency of the World Bank's procurement process in issuing "No Objections." The dataset includes information on the dates of each step in the procurement process where the Bank is required to provide a "no-objection." The sample for the dataset was constructed from a questionnaire surveyed in eleven client countries. The document also provides an analysis of the World Bank's procurement efficiency based on the dataset. Table 2 shows the average elapsed time between steps in the procurement process for all contracts. It reveals that the average elapsed time from the borrower's submission of draft bidding documents to contract signature is 286 days. Furthermore, it highlights that civil works contracts take the longest time (307 days), followed by goods contracts (287 days) and consultant services contracts (290 days). Overall, the document highlights the limitations of the existing procurement systems and provides insights into the efficiency of the World Bank's procurement process based on the constructed dataset, including specific average elapsed times for different types of contracts.
