Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Apfinance N/A Recruitment necessitates stringent financial structuring in compliance with General Financial Rules 2017. The estimated contract valuation dictates a mandatory Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value to deter frivolous bidding, submitted via bank guarantee or electronic transfer. Upon successful award, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until sixty days post the completion of all contractual obligations. Tender document fees are structured as non-refundable administrative costs, though MSMEs may claim exemptions under applicable rules. Furthermore, a strict Liquidated Damages (LD) clause of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, is enforced to ensure adherence to strict recruitment delivery timelines.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contractual compliance is governed by General Conditions of Contract, mandating structured milestone billing tied directly to verifiable recruitment deliverables. A Defect Liability Period is enforced to rectify any procedural discrepancies or non-compliant candidate placements identified post-onboarding. To ensure absolute transparency, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders. Any disputes arising from the execution of the contract shall be resolved amicably through mutual negotiations, failing which the matter shall be referred to sole arbitration under the provisions of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, with proceedings seated in the designated jurisdiction of the procuring entity.
