A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is mandated to filter participants. Furthermore, the contract strictly enforces a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to timelines and accountability throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

A Defect Liability Period is enforced to address post-recruitment discrepancies. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices.
