Abstract
In 2015, the World Bank approved a
new procurement framework, which aimed to reform its
approach to procurement. The World Bank’s reform was
intended to reform its procurement systems and the way
procurement is supported in client countries. The
procurement reform emphasized seven core principles of value
for money for decision-making, efficiency, economy,
integrity, fairness, transparency, and fit for purpose.
Anchoring the reform in a set of principles was intended to
promote greater flexibility and more effective operational
procurement. The procurement reform is a continuous change
management process. The objective of the evaluation is to
assess the results, successes, and challenges of the World
Bank’s procurement since the reforms made in 2016 and thus
help inform its continuation.
