Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Aptel Director Recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation must factor in headhunting complexity, executive psychometric assessments, and panel interviews. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids, accepted via bank guarantee or electronic transfer. Upon successful award, the selected executive search agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until the completion of the recruitment guarantee period. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is levied as per institutional policy. To mitigate delivery risks, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced at 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to the recruitment timeline.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contractual compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract, incorporating milestone-based billing linked to deliverables such as shortlist submission, interview facilitation, and final onboarding. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends to cover candidate retention for six months post-appointment, during which replacement services must be provided if the candidate exits prematurely. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which the matter shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated procuring entity jurisdiction.
