Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Almora Director Recruitment entails a strategic financial framework aligned with the General Financial Rules (GFR 2017). Contract valuation is determined via detailed market estimates. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) pegged strictly at 2% of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids, acceptable via Bank Guarantee or NEFT/RTGS. Upon successful tendering, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% to 5% of the total contract value to secure uncompromised execution. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is levied as per institutional policy. To enforce strict adherence to timelines, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying a penalty of 0.5% of the contract price per week of delay, subject to an absolute ceiling of 10% of the total contract value.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by General Conditions of Contract (GCC) adhering to Indian laws. All disputes arising from execution shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in Almora. Payments will follow a milestone-based billing schedule linked to verified deliverable outputs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies post-completion to rectify operational discrepancies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure absolute transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices, bribery, and collusive behavior throughout the project lifecycle.
