e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Step 1: Vendors must register on the GeM portal and CPPP using valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to access tender documents, acknowledge scope, and download instructions for electronic submission.

Step 2: Interested bidders shall submit written queries within the stipulated timeframe for the pre-bid clarification meeting, where AJNIFM Authority addresses technical ambiguities, service SLAs, and compliance prerequisites.

Step 3: Bidders must upload a Two-Cover bid comprising technical credentials, statutory compliance certificates, EMD receipts, and financial capability proofs in Cover One without disclosing any pricing details.

Step 4: Following technical evaluation, the commercial BoQ and financial bids of technically qualified vendors are opened electronically on the portal to identify the lowest responsive bidder.

Step 5: AJNIFM Authority issues the Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful L1 vendor, who must submit the Performance Bank Guarantee and sign the formal contract agreement within prescribed timelines.

Bidders participating in Head Havaldar must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant

Similar Project Execution Experience	The bidder must have successfully executed similar manpower deployment or security services contracts for central autonomous bodies, government departments, or public sector undertakings during the past seven years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Head Havaldar services at AJNIFM Authority demands rigorous commercial structuring in alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines. The estimated contract valuation is determined through comprehensive market rate analysis, factoring in minimum wages, statutory dues, and administrative overheads. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids, submitted via demand draft, banker cheque, or online payment. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure against performance defaults. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is levied as per institutional policy, though MSMEs registered with NSIC or Udyam are exempt. Furthermore, a strict Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforces a penalty of 0.5 percent of the undelivered value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to service level agreements.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract strictly complies with General Conditions of Contract (GCC) under GFR 2017. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved amicably; failing which, they shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in New Delhi. Milestone billing operates on a monthly reimbursement model upon verification of attendance, duty rosters, and statutory wage disbursements. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends throughout the contract duration, ensuring immediate rectification of service lapses. An Integrity Pact is enforced for transparency.
