- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
A core objective of the 11th Five-Year Plan (2008-2012) of the Government is reducing regional disparities. Investments in infrastructure and services in the NER, one of India's less developed regions, have priority. The 10th and 11th plans highlight the vital role of capital cities in NER's socioeconomic transformation. Given the difficult access to and remoteness of NER, the capital cities perform a function of a much higher order than other cities of similar size in India. With the opening up of trade with neighboring countries and the emergence of transport corridors in the region, these cities are expected to play an even greater strategic role in NER's economy as commercial and business hubs besides being administrative centers. Investments in urban infrastructure and services will be the key to unleashing the potential of these cities to catalyze the growth of NER.
The 11th plan also stresses the importance of improving the quality of governance and service delivery systems, to pace NER's development. It advocates a two pronged approach linking funds for capital investments with reforms. The plan's main reference for reforms is the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1994, which promotes decentralized urban governance. With the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, the Government has reaffirmed its commitment to urban development through investments in a number of cities, subject to the cities' commitment to reforms for decentralized and sustainable urban service delivery. NERCCDIP, as well as the sector road maps from which it is derived, is guided by this policy framework. Its aim is to contribute to the Government's goal of bringing the NER up to par with developed regions of India. The Program links capital investments to reforms for sustainable impact. It strategically targets the capital cities that will spearhead the repositioning of NER as a gateway linking India to the neighboring states and to Southeast and East Asia.

Business Opportunities
- Consulting Services
Consultants will be hired by each of the five SIPMIUs to support design, construction supervision and management and institutional development acitivites. The need for consulting services is expected to decline gradually during implementation as the SIPMIUs and SEAs increase their capacity, and will be reviewed after the first two tranches are completed.
MOUD will also be supported by a program management and monitoring consultant, who will (i) assist program coordination by monitoring and reporting regularly on progress, identifying implementation bottlenecks, and recommending corrective actions; (ii) review the subproject appraisal reports prepared by the SIPMIUs and support the preparation of PFRs for submission; (iii) support capacity-building acitvities; and (iv) draft an urban reform action and monitoring plan.
Agencies and institutions, including established registered nongovernment orgranitions (NGO), will also be hired for participatory planning, community awareness activities, and surveys, among others. All consultants and NGOs will be recruited according to ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2007, as amended from time to time).
- Procurement
- All goods and services under NERCCDIP will be procured according to ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2007, as amended from time to time). Civil works contracts estimated at $5.0 million or more, and supply contracts valued at $1.0 million or higher will undergo international competitive bidding. Civil works and supply contracts costing less than those amounts will be procured through national competitive bidding. Goods below $100,000 in value will be procured through shopping. The feasibility of community contracting will be examined individually for low-cost sanitation and other community works not exceeding $100,000 in value.
