Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Senior Library Information Officer Grade appointment under APSC Authority necessitates rigorous financial structuring in alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM standards. The estimated contract valuation must factor in all statutory outlays and administrative overheads.

Upon successful award, a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value must be furnished by the agency to secure execution fidelity against defaults. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is integrated to defray portal processing costs. Furthermore, to safeguard the procuring entity from project slippages, 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 consideration.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract mandate stringent adherence to compliance frameworks. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the procuring entity's headquarters. Payments shall follow a milestone-based billing structure linked to verifiable service deliverables.
