e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must register on the Central Public Procurement Portal and GeM 4.0 using valid Class-3 Digital Signature Certificates to access tender documents and submit bids securely within the stipulated timeline.

Participate in the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to raise queries regarding technical specifications, evaluation metrics, and scope of work for formal addendum issuance by the board.

Submit the two-cover bid meticulously, ensuring Cover-I contains comprehensive technical qualifications, statutory compliances, and EMD instruments, while keeping all commercial parameters strictly segregated.

Upon successful technical evaluation, witness the opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial bids on the portal to determine the lowest evaluated responsive bidder.

Receive and formally accept the Letter of Award (LoA), followed by the prompt submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee and execution of the formal contract agreement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Staff Driver Grade-III Cadre Recruitment by the Central Admissions & Recruitment Board is estimated based on historical recruitment volumes and service SLAs. In compliance with GFR 2017, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is strictly fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost to deter frivolous bidders.

The tender document is made available on GeM without a non-refundable tender fee to encourage wider participation in alignment with digital public procurement guidelines. Liquidated damages (LD) are rigorously enforced at 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the aggregate contract value, safeguarding the procuring entity against operational delays.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract, incorporating milestone-based billing tied to successful recruitment phases such as written examination conduct, skill testing, and document verification. A Defect Liability Period of 12 months applies to data accuracy and software-driven processing outcomes. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in the city of the procuring entity. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices throughout the lifecycle of the procurement engagement.
