Contract/Bid No.307/04.12.2002

The Romanian Government has received a loan from the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development in the amount of USD
55,000,000 equivalent toward the cost of the Employment and Social
Protection Project, and it intends to apply the proceeds of this loan
to payments under the contract for Procurement of Copying Systems.
Bidding for contracts financed by the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development will be governed by the procurement
rules specified in the World Bank Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA
Credits[1]. It is open to all bidders from eligible source countries
as defined in the guidelines.

The Employment and Social Protection Project will support the
Government's efforts to alleviate unemployment and poverty,
improve the efficiency and affordability of employment and social
protection services, and promote labour productivity and economic
competitiveness. The specific objectives of the project are to: 1)
strengthen the capacity of labor offices to administer increasing
numbers of claims for unemployment benefits and active labor
adjustment services (e.g. job placement, employment counseling,
training); 2) develop a flexible adult training system which responds
to evolving labor market demand resulting from economic restructuring;
and 3) implement reforms in social insurance and assistance programs,
targeting those population groups which are most vulnerable to falling
into poverty during and after the transition to a market economy.
Project components include: 1) General management and policy including
monitoring and policy analysis of new programs, automation of labor
and social protection offices to support and improve the management of
programs to be introduced, and project management support to expand
and strengthen the already functioning Project Coordination Unit
established under the Technical Assistance and Critical Imports (TACI)
Project; 2) employment and training which comprises employment
services, career information and counseling, and adult training; and
3) social protection.
