Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Braou N/A Recruitment requires rigorous financial planning aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation forms the baseline for financial instruments. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of exactly 2 percent of the estimated value must be submitted, with exemptions strictly applicable to registered MSMEs and startups per Rule 170. Upon successful award, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure against default, valid until the completion of all contractual obligations plus the warranty or defect liability period. Tender document fees, where applicable, remain strictly non-refundable. To mitigate execution delays, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed delivery or milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed by standard General Conditions of Contract (GCC) adhering to Indian laws. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be settled through binding arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English and the venue designated by Braou. Payments shall follow a structured milestone billing schedule linked to verified deliverables and service levels. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies post-implementation to rectify service deficiencies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency, curb corrupt practices, and enforce ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle.
