Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Apindustries General Manager Recruitment involves a strategic valuation reflecting senior executive search complexity. In alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM frameworks, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated tender value is mandated to filter non-serious bidders. Upon award, the successful agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the contract value, valid until the completion of the recruitment mandate and defect liability period. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee is levied to defray administrative processing costs. To safeguard against delayed service delivery, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to delivery timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract mandate a robust dispute resolution mechanism governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with arbitration proceedings held at the designated headquarters of Apindustries. Payments shall be disbursed strictly against milestone billing linked to deliverables such as candidate sourcing, shortlisting, interview facilitation, and final onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 90 days applies to placed candidates, requiring free replacement if a candidate resigns or is terminated for non-performance. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact executed between Apindustries and the bidders ensures absolute transparency, ethical conduct, and strict prohibition of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
