Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Assistant Director Recruitment services under Procuring Entity And requires a rigorous commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation is assessed based on market rates for recruitment process outsourcing. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandated to secure the bid against withdrawal or modification during the validity period. Upon successful evaluation, the selected lowest bidder (L1) must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value, valid until 60 days beyond the completion of all contractual obligations. Tender document fees are waived as per public procurement policies for eligible entities. To mitigate project delays, a strict 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 value.
