MONTENEGRO
LAND ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT
GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE
LOAN NO. LN 7647-ME

Montenegro has received a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) in the amount of EUR 11 million equivalent toward the cost of the Land Administration and Management Project, and intends to apply the proceeds of this loan to payments for goods, works, related services and consulting services to be procured under this project. The project will include the following components:

Component 1: Real Estate Administration

This component concentrates on improving registration services to the public by improving the facilities at local offices, especially in Podgorica where the majority of transactions occur. Nationally there will be improved service standards through improved technology and completion of at least 100,000 hectares of cadastre and registration records in selected areas. The Project will help the Real Estate Administration Department (READ) to bring all forms of land and property records ‘on-line’ and available to municipalities and other users, and ensure that READ will be able to provide basic maps in a timely manner to municipalities for planning and management purposes. There are four subcomponents: (i) improving registration services; (ii) information system development; (iii) provision of base maps; and, (iv) completing the real estate cadastre (REC).

Component 2: Improving Planning and Permitting

This component will support the Ministry of Economic Development (MED) to improve the planning and permitting processes and strengthen the capacity of MED to support the planning sector in Montenegro. This component will also support those municipalities that have limited funds to develop spatial and general plans in line with the recently approved National Spatial Plan (NSP). Podgorica municipality and the coastal municipalities can afford to develop their own urban plans, but all municipalities will benefit from the Project-sponsored planning standards and manuals, and information systems that will streamline and improve the planning and permitting process. There are four subcomponents: (i) improving the planning process and support to MED; (ii) improving the planning process at municipal level and completion of plans; (iii) improving construction permitting and inspection; and (iv) support to the business environment.

Component 3: Project Management

This component will support the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) to assist MED with implementation of Component 1 and the existing Technical Services Unit (TSU) under the Ministry of Finance (MOF) that will be responsible for fiduciary control and management. The PCU will also be responsible for monitoring and evaluation of all Project activities and results.

Procurement of contracts financed by the loan will be conducted through the procedures specified in the World Bank’s Guidelines: Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits, May 2004, Revised October 2006 and is open to all bidders from eligible source countries as defined in the guidelines. Consulting services will be selected in accordance with the World Bank’s Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers, May 2004, Revised October 2006.
