e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and complete mandatory enrolment on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 platform prior to bid submission.

Participate in the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to submit technical queries, review amendments, and obtain official clarifications issued by BCB Authority regarding the 'Raquo Icegate' scope.

Prepare and upload the Two-Cover bid system comprising Cover-I (Technical qualifications, statutory compliances, EMD) and Cover-II (Financial BoQ) strictly before the stipulated tender closing deadline.

Attend the online opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) following the successful technical evaluation of eligible bidders who meet all stringent pre-qualification parameters.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) upon final approval, submit the mandated Performance Bank Guarantee within the specified timeframe, and execute the comprehensive contract agreement.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Raquo Icegate must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Average Annual Financial Turnover of the bidder during the last three consecutive financial years must be at least 30% of the estimated contract value, supported by audited balance sheets and profit-and-loss statements.
Statutory Benchmark	Successful execution of similar nature past work orders (e.g., IT integration, custom port gateways, or enterprise software deployment) amounting to at least 40% of the estimated cost in the last seven years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory possession of valid statutory licenses and compliance registrations including GSTIN, Permanent Account Number (PAN), EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under applicable Indian labor statutes.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the 'Raquo Icegate' project by BCB Authority establishes a robust commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation dictates a non-refundable tender document fee to deter non-serious bidders. In compliance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated cost is mandatory, payable via demand draft or bank guarantee. Upon successful award, the lowest responsive bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% and 5% of the total contract value to safeguard the authority against default, valid through the defect liability period. Furthermore, the contract strictly incorporates a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, imposing a penalty of 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the aggregate contract value, ensuring timely execution.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is anchored in General Conditions of Contract (GCC), mandating milestone-based billing linked to verifiable deliverables for the 'Raquo Icegate' project. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months post-commissioning ensures rectification of latent software or operational anomalies. Any disputes arising from the execution shall be resolved through binding arbitration in India, governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English. Additionally, an Integrity Pact executed between BCB Authority and the bidders guarantees transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
