e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Step 1: Obtain a valid Class III Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and complete mandatory vendor registration on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM portal to access tender documents securely.

Step 2: Attend the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting either physically or virtually to submit written queries, understand technical nuances, and review official addendums issued by AJNIFM Authority.

Step 3: Prepare and upload the two-cover bid containing complete technical credentials, statutory compliances, and EMD instruments in Cover 1, ensuring no commercial details are inadvertently disclosed.

Step 4: Participate in the online commercial opening of the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) in Cover 2 after successful technical evaluation determines the list of responsive bidders by the committee.

Step 5: Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) upon final financial concurrence, subsequently submit the required Performance Bank Guarantee, and sign the formal contract agreement to commence execution.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Interview Notice 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 past work orders for government bodies or reputed institutions, demonstrating proven capability in handling comparable interview notice tasks.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Interview Notice by AJNIFM Authority involves a structured financial architecture adhering to GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The contract valuation is determined through a detailed cost estimate reflecting market rates for professional media and publication services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated tender value must be submitted by bidders, payable via demand draft or bank guarantee, ensuring serious participation while remaining compliant with rule relaxations for eligible entities. Upon successful selection, the L1 vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% and 5% of the total contract value to secure faithful execution. Tender document fees are kept nominal or waived as per digital governance norms. Furthermore, a strict Liquidated Damages (LD) clause of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%, is enforced to safeguard project timelines and institutional interests.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is anchored in General Conditions of Contract (GCC), mandating adherence to milestone billing tied to verifiable deliverables. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends to rectify any discrepancies post-execution. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in the designated city and conducted in English. Additionally, an Integrity Pact may be enforced for transparency, requiring both AJNIFM Authority and the contractor to commit to ethical practices, avoiding corrupt influences throughout the bidding and execution lifecycle.
