Drivers of Delays in Procurement of Infrastructure Projects

The objective of this study was to analyze the reasons for delays in procurement and contract execution of infrastructure projects. It analyzes available data from three different sources: Tender data for 656 works contracts extracted from the World Bank Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP), covering the period 2013-2022. This sample was used to analyze the incidence and extent of delays in the procurement of World Bank infrastructure projects; A sample of 312 works contracts for infrastructure projects financed by the World Bank and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), covering the period 2007-2019. This sample was used to analyze the reasons for delays in the procurement and delivery of World Bank and IsDB infrastructure projects at the contract level; CoST assurance reports from 2016 to 2020 covering 480 infrastructure projects across 12 member countries of CoST. This sample was used to analyze the reasons of delays for the reviewed infrastructure projects.
