Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the And N/A Recruitment contract under the Procuring Entity And is governed strictly by the General Financial Rules (GFR 2017) and GeM guidelines. Contract valuation must be realistically estimated based on market rates to ensure value for money. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) pegged at 2 percent of the estimated cost must be submitted by bidders, with exemptions applicable strictly for registered Micro and Small Enterprises and startups under Rule 170. Upon successful evaluation, the selected bidder shall furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure faithful performance. Tender document fees, if applicable, remain non-refundable. Furthermore, to mitigate project delays, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, subject to a maximum cap of 10 percent.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance under General Conditions of Contract (GCC) mandates strict adherence to milestone-based billing linked to verified deliverables and service level agreements. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) shall apply post-completion to rectify any operational anomalies. In the event of disputes, the matter shall be referred to a sole arbitrator appointed by mutual consent, governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the procuring entity's jurisdiction. High-value tenders mandatorily incorporate an Integrity Pact, binding both the procuring entity and bidders to ethical conduct, transparency, and avoidance of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.

Procurement & Bidding FAQs — And N/A Recruitment

Are Joint Ventures (JVs) or Consortiums permitted to bid for this recruitment contract?

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific tender document data sheet, Joint Ventures and Consortiums are generally discouraged for service contracts of this nature to maintain single-point accountability.

What is the acceptable format and validity period for the EMD Bank Guarantee?

The EMD Bank Guarantee must be issued by a scheduled commercial bank in India, drawn in favor of the procuring entity, and must remain valid for a period of 45 days beyond the final bid validity period.

What is the standard bid validity period required from the date of technical bid opening?

Bids must remain valid and open for acceptance for a minimum period of 120 days from the date of opening of the technical bids, during which no price escalations are permitted.

Does this contract include a Price Variation Clause (PVC) for statutory wage revisions?

What is the minimum qualifying technical score required to unseal the financial BoQ?

Bidders must achieve a minimum technical score of 70 percent under the Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) or least-cost system criteria specified in the Request for Proposal to qualify.

No. While MSMEs are generally exempted from EMD under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, they are typically required to submit the full Performance Bank Guarantee upon winning the award.
