India is the largest Client of the World Bank with government borrowing about US$ 5 Billion (about Rs. 41,000 Crore) each year. A large percentage of this amount is used for the procurement of goods, works & services for projects implemented by various government departments and agencies. These goods work and services are supplied by Private Sector including women-owned businesses. Women-owned businesses can either directly participate as bidder, or they may work as sub-contractor/supplier to the main Contractor.
