Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for the Apdhte Director Recruitment under Apdhte requires rigorous commercial alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM standards. The estimated contract valuation forms the baseline for financial security instruments. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) pegged strictly at 2% of the estimated value must be submitted by bidders via Demand Draft or Bank Guarantee, with exemptions applicable exclusively to registered MSMEs and Startups under Rule 170. Upon successful evaluation, the lowest responsive bidder shall furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value to safeguard against execution defaults. The tender document fee is structured as non-refundable to deter frivolous bids. Furthermore, to enforce strict timelines, a liquidated damages (LD) clause of 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week, capped at a maximum of 10% of the aggregate contract price, is legally embedded within the General Conditions of Contract.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed strictly by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of the execution of the Apdhte Director Recruitment shall be resolved amicably, failing which they shall be referred to sole arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English. Milestone-based billing will be tied strictly to verifiable deliverables outlined in the scope of work. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the recruitment deliverables. Additionally, an Integrity Pact executed between Apdhte and the vendor mandates transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
