Indicators (2/119)

This redflag indicates risk if there are multiple sole source awards or direct contracting to the same company within the same procuring unit, where the items should have been procured separately (e.g., the additional activities are not a natural continuation of the existing contract)

This redflag indicates risk where the use of sole sourcing or direct contracting contradicts the Procurement Plan calls for use of more competitive methods OR where there is sole sourcing or direct contracting for new procurement actions (not listed in the Procurement Plan) without obtaining the World Bank’s no objection.
