Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Aptel Director Recruitment requires a rigorous financial structuring aligned with GFR 2017. Contract valuation is determined through a detailed cost-estimate factoring executive search complexities, headhunting syndication, and psychometric assessment modules. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated cost is mandated to filter non-serious bidders, furnished via bank guarantee or electronic transfer. Upon successful award, a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value must be deposited by the agency to secure performance obligations until contract closure. Tender document fees are maintained at zero where mandated by GeM policy or kept nominal and non-refundable. To mitigate execution 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 price.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of the Aptel Director Recruitment execution shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Milestone billing is strictly linked to verified deliverables such as candidate sourcing, shortlisting, interview facilitation, and final onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to replacement guarantees for recruited candidates who resign or fail probation within a stipulated timeframe. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure absolute transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
