Statutory Benchmark Agencies must have successfully executed similar executive search or director-level recruitment projects for government, autonomous, or large corporate entities within the past seven years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Director Recruitment by And entails stringent commercial parameters aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation dictates the financial thresholds. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated value must be submitted by bidders, either via Demand Draft or Bank Guarantee, to secure the tender against withdrawal. Upon successful award, the selected executive search agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% to 5% of the total contract value, valid until the completion of the recruitment mandate and defect liability period. Tender document fees are structured as non-refundable unless specified otherwise. To safeguard the procuring entity's timelines, a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5% of the contract price per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value for prolonged deliverables.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contractual compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Any disputes arising out of the Director Recruitment contract shall be referred to sole arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the procuring entity's jurisdiction. Milestone billing is tied to measurable deliverables such as candidate sourcing, shortlisting, interview facilitation, and final onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to candidate retention, requiring replacement without additional cost if the recruited director leaves within a specified timeframe. An Integrity Pact must be executed for transparency.
