Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Assistant Professor Recruitment services by And involves a structured financial architecture compliant with GFR 2017 and GeM standards. The contract valuation is determined through meticulous cost estimation based on recruitment scale, candidate screening volume, and evaluation panels. Prospective bidders must submit a non-refundable tender document fee alongside an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated contract value to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful adjudication, the lowest responsive bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% and 5% of the total contract value, valid until the completion of all contractual obligations including the defect liability period. Furthermore, to safeguard the Procuring Entity against delivery delays, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 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 by General Conditions of Contract (GCC) adhering to Indian laws. All disputes arising out of the contract 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. Milestone billing is tied to verifiable deliverables such as application screening, preliminary testing, interview management, and final merit list compilation. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends for twelve months post-project completion to rectify any recruitment reporting discrepancies. Additionally, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure transparency, preventing corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
