Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the Bihar Chief Accounts Officer Recruitment contract is structured following GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines to ensure fiscal prudence and transparency. The estimated contract valuation commands strict financial parameters to safeguard public funds. The Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is pegged precisely at 2 percent of the estimated value to deter non-serious bidders, accepted via bank guarantee or electronic transfer. Upon successful award, the chosen agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until the completion of all contractual obligations. The non-refundable tender document fee aligns with standard administrative cost recovery. Furthermore, to mitigate project delays, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value.
