e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Procure a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and complete mandatory vendor onboarding on the CPPP or GeM 4.0 portal to access tender documents securely.
Participate actively in the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to submit technical queries and evaluate formal corrigenda issued by the procuring entity.
Prepare and upload the Two-Cover bid system, segregating comprehensive technical credentials in Cover 1 and statutory compliance documents without pricing details.
Post technical qualification, witness the opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial cover on the portal to determine the lowest evaluated bidder (L1).
Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA), submit the stipulated Performance Bank Guarantee within the prescribed timeframe, and execute the final procurement agreement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Aishe N/A Recruitment by Aishe entails a rigorous financial framework governed by GFR 2017 principles. The estimated contract valuation dictates the monetary thresholds for all commercial instruments. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to deter frivolous bids, submitted via Bank Guarantee or Demand Draft. Upon successful evaluation, the selected bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are maintained at zero where GeM guidelines apply, ensuring wider participation. To mitigate project delays, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the aggregate contract value, ensuring strict adherence to timelines.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is anchored by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of the Aishe N/A Recruitment contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which they shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. Milestone billing tied to measurable deliverables ensures phased liquidity. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is enforced to rectify any recruitment-related discrepancies post-deployment. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to promote transparency, probity, and fair competition between Aishe and participating bidders throughout the lifecycle.
