These thresholds complement market analysis carried out for specific IPF operations, - see PPSD Guidance for further information on market analysis - and are expected to be observed, unless the specific market analysis advises the use of different set of thresholds otherwise. Any departure from thresholds set out in this Guidance shall be justified in the PPSD and reflected in the PAD and/or the Procurement Plan, as appropriate. 3. competitive procurement is the Bank s preferred procurement approach, whenever possible, to maximize fairness of opportunity to bid, and approaching the inter market is appropriate for situations where the participation of foreign firms will increase competition and may enhance the achievement of best value for money and fit for purpose results. 4.
