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 uncompromised service delivery throughout the project tenure. Tender document fees are generally exempted for MSMEs registered on the Central Public Procurement Portal or GeM. Furthermore, Liquidated Damages (LD) are rigorously enforced at 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to project timelines.
