Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the Senior Library Information Officer interview process by APSC Authority is structured in strict compliance with GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines.

Upon successful award, the selected service provider must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until completion of all obligations plus the warranty/defect liability period. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee is integrated where applicable, though exempted for eligible MSMEs. To safeguard public funds against project delays, a 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.
