Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the Bathinda recruitment services contract outlines critical financial safeguards in alignment with GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation dictates a mandatory Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated value to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% and 5% of the total contract value, valid until the completion of all contractual obligations including the defect liability period. Tender document fees are structured transparently as non-refundable administrative costs, though eligible MSMEs may claim exemptions. To enforce timely execution and service delivery, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying a penalty of 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract price, ensuring strict adherence to timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in Bathinda. Milestone billing shall apply based on verifiable deliverables and recruitment stages. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is mandated to rectify any procedural or administrative discrepancies post-delivery. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value procurement to ensure transparency, prevent corrupt practices, and bind both parties to ethical execution throughout the project lifecycle.
