In addition, Clause 33 of the Instructions to Bidders, Notification of Award, includes a debriefing provision that dictates that unsuccessful bidders who query must receive a written response from the Purchaser detailing the reasons their bids were rejected. Clause 28 of the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), Resolution of Disputes, has been revised to specify that disputes which the parties have failed to resolve by mutual consultation, shall be referred to international arbitration. The corresponding Clause 28 of the Special Conditions of Contract (SCC) now proposes for the Purchaser’s consideration the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, the Rules of London Court of International Arbitration, and the Rules of Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce as alternatives rules to govern the arbitration proceedings, in addition to the Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). A new Clause 29 on Limitation of Liability was also introduced to the GCC. To address the common errors and inconsistencies of bidders in calculating the Bid Validity Period, the Bid Form no longer requires bidders to fill-in a time period for bid validity, but instead makes a cross-reference to Clause 16.1, Period of Validity of Bids, of the Bid Data Sheet. The Bid Form also requires that bidders certify their continuous compliance with the eligibility requirements of the bidding documents.iii Preface These Standard Bidding Documents (SBD) have been prepared by the World Bank for use by borrowers and their implementing agencies in the procurement of goods through International Competitive Bidding (ICB). The procedures and practices presented in this document have been developed through broad international experience, and are mandatory for use in projects that are financed in whole or in part by the World Bank in accordance with the provisions of the latest edition of Guidelines: Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits. In order to simplify the preparation of bidding documents for each procurement, the SBD groups the provisions that are intended to be used unchanged in Section II, Instructions to Bidders, and in Section IV, General Conditions of Contract. Data and provisions specific to each procurement and contract should be included in Section III, Bid Data Sheet; Section V, Special Conditions of Contract; Section VI, Schedule of Requirements; and Section VII, Technical Specifications. The forms to be used are provided in Section I, Invitation for Bids, and in Section VIII, Sample Forms. Care should be taken to check the relevance of the provisions of the SBD against the requirements of the specific goods to be procured. The following general directions should be observed when using the documents. In addition, each section is prepared with notes intended only as information for the Purchaser or the person drafting the bidding documents. They shall not be included in the final documents, except for the notes introducing Section VIII, Forms, where the information is useful for the Bidder. (a) Specific details, such as the “name of the Purchaser” and “address for bid submission,” should be furnished in the Invitation for Bids, in the Bid Data Sheet, and in the Special Conditions of Contract. The final documents should contain neither blank spaces nor options. (b) Amendments, if any, to the Instructions to Bidders and to the General Conditions of Contract should be made through the Bid Data Sheet and the Special Conditions of Contract, respectively. (c) Footnotes or notes in italics included in the Invitation for Bids, Bid Data Sheet, Special Conditions of Contract, and in the Schedule of Requirements are not part of the text of the document, although they contain instructions that the Purchaser should strictly follow. The final document should contain no footnotes.iv Preface (d) The criteria for bid evaluation and the various methods of evaluation in the Instructions to Bidders (Clauses 26.4 and 26.5, respectively) should be carefully reviewed. Only those that are selected to be used for the procurement in question should be
