Concurrently, based on the project details and strategy laid out in the PPSD, CPTU prepared a draft procurement plan for initial 18 months as well as the Technical Assistance Project Proposal (TAPP) required for GoB’s internal processing. The Procurement Plan will be updated at least annually. For each contract to be financed under the project, the different selection methods for procurement, market approach, contracting arrangement, estimated costs, prior review requirements and time frame is agreed between the implementing agencies and the Bank in the Procurement Plan; 65 b.Introducing STEP system: Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) is introduced to prepare and manage procurement plan and procurement transactions under the project. The procurement plan will be updated semi-annually (or as required) using STEP system which will help both Agency and The Bank monitor performance, manage and store related documentation for all steps in a procurement activity; 65 c.Bid/Proposal Evaluation Committee: The implementing agencies will ensure that the bid/proposal evaluation committees have necessary expertise depending on the type of contract and are formed in a manner acceptable to the Bank with its prior concurrence, including any alterations in composition; 66 d.Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP): Request for Bids (Open-National) contracts will use the e-GP system of the country for national competitive bidding (NCB); 66 e.Procurement consultant: To partly mitigate procurement associated risks, a full time procurement consultant will assist CPTU in conducting its procurement. Similarly, LGED will have one part-time consultant to assist them.

1. Bangladesh is one of the world’s most populous countries with an estimated 160 million people in a geographical area of about 144,415 sq.-km and per capita income of US$1,409 in 2016 crossing the threshold of lower middle income country. During recent years, economic conditions improved in the country with headline inflation declining to 5.9 percent in FY16 from 7.3 percent in FY14, while the fiscal deficit contained at around 3.1 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in FY16. The GDP grew well above the average for developing countries in recent years, averaging 6.5 percent since 2010, with an officially reported growth of 7.1 percent in in FY16, driven by manufacturing and services. Progress on reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity through human development and employment generation has continued with the poverty incidence from 32.6 percent in 2002 to a projected 18.6 percent in 2010 (latest available poverty data). Bangladesh’s performance against the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) is impressive against the South Asia Region average for most of the indicators in table 1. Despite such progress, the country needs more effort in improving its growth rate to meet its target of becoming an upper middle income country by 2031.
