Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Aftjaipur Consultant Recruitment involves a strategic valuation aligned with GFR 2017 provisions. To ensure serious bidder participation while complying with financial mandates, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated contract value is stipulated. Upon successful tender finalization, the selected consultant must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the contract value, valid until the conclusion of all contractual obligations. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is levied as per institutional guidelines, though exempted for eligible MSMEs. To mitigate schedule overruns, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, enforcing a penalty of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of or in connection with the consultancy agreement shall be resolved amicably, failing which they shall be referred to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue of arbitration located at the procuring entity's headquarters. Payments shall strictly follow milestone-based billing linked to verified deliverable sign-offs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies post-project completion to rectify any discrepancies in advisory outputs.
