e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC Class III) and complete mandatory entity registration on the GeM 4.0 / CPPP portal to participate in the tendering process securely.

Prospective bidders shall submit written queries within the stipulated timeframe, followed by attendance at the pre-bid clarification meeting hosted by APSC Authority to resolve technical ambiguities.

Bidders must upload the two-cover system comprising Cover A (technical credentials, statutory compliances, and EMD) and Cover B (financial BoQ) on the e-procurement portal before the deadline.

The competent evaluation committee of APSC Authority will open the commercial BoQ financial bids exclusively for technically qualified bidders meeting all pre-qualification parameters.

Post financial ranking and financial concurrence, the successful L1 bidder will be issued the formal Letter of Award (LoA), mandating acceptance and subsequent contract agreement execution.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Applications Are Invited from the Eligible Officials must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess a minimum Average Annual Turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, duly certified by a Chartered Accountant.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must have successfully executed similar project works of comparable magnitude for government departments or public sector undertakings during the preceding seven financial years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory statutory registrations including valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and applicable Labor Licenses under central or state statutes must be submitted along with the technical bid.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for APSC Authority entails strict adherence to GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 financial frameworks. The estimated contract valuation must be computed based on market rates to ensure reasonable fiscal outlays. In alignment with standard public procurement norms, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is mandated at 2 percent of the estimated tender value, acting as a deterrent against frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to safeguard against default risks. Tender document fees, where applicable, remain non-refundable to cover administrative processing overheads. Furthermore, to enforce strict delivery timelines, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying a penalty of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the aggregate contract sum.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract (GCC) mandate rigorous compliance across all project lifecycles. Milestone-based billing shall govern financial disbursements, tied directly to verified physical progress and deliverable sign-offs by APSC Authority. A comprehensive Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months is enforced post-commissioning to rectify workmanship faults. To promote transparency, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which the matter will be referred to a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated jurisdiction of the procuring entity.
