World Bank debarments: procurement scope and references

Debarment is not a financial-sanctions designation

The World Bank publishes firms and individuals ineligible to participate in specified Bank-financed contracts, including debarred and cross-debarred entries. Relevant periods, grounds, notes, and the scope of ineligibility matter to a procurement review.

A procurement restriction should not be converted into a claim that a person is subject to financial sanctions. Read the relevant table, notes, and institutional rules to establish what the listing means. Separate World Bank sanctions and corporate procurement exclusions can have different purposes and scopes.

Review procurement evidence at its original source

Use the World Bank’s official listing below to inspect the named party, period, grounds, and published notes. Confirm identity before drawing an eligibility conclusion. A similar supplier name is a reason to compare reliable organization or person details, not an automatic finding about a bidder.

This reference article does not state that World Bank debarments are included in a SanctionsKit request. Consult current coverage for the sources available to your workflow. The procurement review guide explains how to keep institution-specific eligibility evidence separate from financial-sanctions results.

Choosing available coverage

Choose the sources relevant to your workflow from current coverage. The directory shows available sources, record counts, and successful refresh times. The public demonstration and sandbox use invented records; production requests use the coverage you select.

Use source discovery to select named sources or a versioned package. Requested sources that are unknown, unavailable, or too stale cause an explicit error. SanctionsKit does not silently remove them from your request or report an incomplete check as a no-match result.
