Passation des marchés

This private company operates in a liberalised sector open to competition (glass manufacturing) and even if located in the EU would not be subject to EU procurement Directives. It is expected to purchase its main equipment and services for the project, amongst the few specialised international engineering companies, using negotiated procedures. This procedure, which is usual and best practice in this industry, would be in the best interests of the project and is therefore in line with the Bank’s procurement policy.
