| Evaluation Benchmark | Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant |
|---|---|

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The financial framework for the Amritsar recruitment contract is strictly governed by GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation must be justified against current market rates for large-scale manpower sourcing and administrative execution. Prospective bidders are mandated to submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at precisely 2 percent of the estimated value, safeguardable via electronic transfer or bank guarantee. Upon successful selection, the lowest evaluated responsive bidder (L1) must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to cover potential default risks. Tender document fees, where applicable, remain non-refundable. Furthermore, to ensure timely project completion, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, subject to an overall ceiling cap of 10 percent of the total contract price.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contractual compliance is strictly regulated by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Any disputes arising from execution shall be referred to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue designated at Amritsar. Payments will be disbursed progressively based on verified milestone billing tied to successful recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to all deployed personnel outcomes and administrative deliverables. Additionally, an Integrity Pact must be executed for high-value tenders to maintain transparency and eliminate corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
