2.7 Consideration of Guide Procurement Policies
• For purely GoN funded projects, applicable Proc. GLs is of the GoN.
• Four main Procurement GLs are in practice in Nepal:
1) GoN – Public Procurement Act(PPA), 2063; Public procurement
Regulations (PPR), 2064 & SBDs issued by the PPMO.
2) World Bank (WB) – Procurement Guidelines & Consultant
Guidelines.
3) Asian Development Bank (ADB) – Procurement Guidelines
4) JICA: Very different than ADB/WB – rebidding time = only 15
minutes, 80% evaluation done during bid opening, total bid price counts
not item rates, item rates are negotiated.
5) FIDIC 1999/2017
