Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The Auroville Foundation Advisor Recruitment contract requires careful financial structuring in compliance with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation must factor in professional consultancy deliverables, expert remuneration, and associated administrative expenses. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at two percent of the estimated value acts as a financial deterrent against frivolous bids, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between three to five percent ensures post-award fidelity. The tender document is typically issued without a fee in alignment with digital public procurement directives. Furthermore, to safeguard the Procuring Entity against delay defaults, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause of zero point five percent per week of delay, capped at a maximum of ten percent of the total contract value, is explicitly enforced.
