Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must possess an average annual financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets and profit-loss statements.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidding entity must have successfully executed similar past work orders for public information management, RTI portal administration, or statutory secretarial services for central or state government departments in the last seven years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory possession of valid statutory registrations including Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN), Permanent Account Number (PAN), Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Employees State Insurance (ESI), and valid labor licenses.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) Order 2012, registered MSEs and Startups recognized by DPIIT are exempted from submitting EMD and prior turnover criteria, subject to submission of valid certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Public Information Officers under the RTI Act by the Central Admissions & Recruitment Board is structured with rigorous commercial parameters in alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation demands meticulous financial planning. Bidders must submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value to filter non-serious participants. Upon award, the successful vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure against default. Tender document fees are waived as per government mandates for electronic procurement portals. To enforce strict adherence to timelines, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying a penalty of 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract sum, thereby safeguarding public funds and ensuring timely project execution.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which the matter shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue of arbitration located at the procuring entity's headquarters. Payments shall be disbursed through milestone-based billing linked to verified service delivery outputs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months shall apply from the date of final operational acceptance, ensuring rectification of any operational discrepancies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact shall be enforced to maintain transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
