1. Contracts for goods, woks and consulting services below prior review thresholds are
subject of Bank's selective ex-post review. Periodic ex-post review by the Bank will be
undertaken during regular supervision missions. Procurement documents, such as bidding
documents, bids, bid evaluation reports and correspondence related to bids and contracts
will be kept readily available for the Bank's ex-post review during supervision mission or

at any other point of time. Bank's mission will review at least one out of every five
contracts which are subject of ex-post review.

2. Record Keeping: The TSU in Montenegro and DNPP of MEFWA in Albania will
maintain complete procurement files which will be reviewed by supervision missions. All
procurement related documents that requires prior review will be cleared by the
Procurement Accredited Staff (PAS) and related technical staff. Procurement information
will be recorded by the TSU and DNPP and submitted to the Bank as part of quarterly
(FMRs) and annual progress reports.
