Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for the engagement of advisors by Ajnifm requires stringent commercial structuring under GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 frameworks. The estimated contract valuation must be determined via robust market rate analysis to set baseline expectations. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) pegged strictly at 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to deter frivolous bidders, submitted via Bank Guarantee or NEFT/RTGS. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value to safeguard against default, valid till 60 days post warranty or defect liability period. While tender document fees are generally exempted on GeM and CPPP for MSMEs, processing fees may apply. Furthermore, the Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforces a financial penalty of 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract price.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contractual compliance is governed strictly by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of the Ajnifm advisor recruitment 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 English at the designated Ajnifm jurisdiction. Milestone billing shall be tied to specific, verifiable deliverables outlined in the scope of work. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends up to 12 months post-project completion to rectify advisory discrepancies. Additionally, an Integrity Pact must be executed for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices.
