FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a local partner legally required to bid on IFI tenders in Central Asia?

Under World Bank and EBRD open international tendering there is no general legal requirement for a local partner. In practice local partners matter for delivery: language, local design norms, site presence and client relationships.

Joint venture or subconsultancy — which structure is right?

A JV shares contractual liability and pools qualifications; a subconsultancy keeps the lead firm solely responsible. The right answer follows from the evaluation criteria: use a JV when the partner's references are needed to qualify, a sub-arrangement when they are not.

How does FORLOG vet potential partners?

Against delivery evidence, not directories: firms we have seen perform on IFI-financed projects in the region since 1997, checked for eligibility, capacity and conflict-of-interest exposure before any introduction.
