Bank-Executed Operational Work (BEO) leads to the contracting of consulting services of firms (from Bank member countries) directly by the Bank, for the generation of products that support the Bank’s development agenda. The bidding opportunities generated by BEO are exclusively for intellectual products and advisory services; they could include little scope for the purchase of goods.
The Policy for the Selection and Contracting Firms for Bank-executed Operational Work was approved in 2014. The selection and contracting process is led by the Project Team Leader and divided in five stages:
- Terms of Reference (TORs)
- Request Expressions of Interest publication
- Short List
- Request for Proposals
- Clarifications to RFP
- Technical Proposal
- Financial Proposal
- Scoring
- BAFO
- Negotiation minutes
- Contract Award Publication
- Contract modification
- Sanctions Non-Performance
- Firm Performance Evaluation

The Bank supports diversity in its supplier base. Women-owned or women-led business enterprises are encouraged to participate in its Corporate Procurement processes.
The Bank defined a women’s business enterprise as:
• 51% or more ownership stake by women
• A woman top manager (CEO, COO, general manager, president, or equivalent position).
