Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Research Associate I P 8264 engagement under CCRAS Authority mandates rigorous commercial structuring in alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The contract valuation is determined through meticulous cost estimation reflecting current market rates for specialized research services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to deter frivolous bids, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value ensures post-award performance compliance. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee may be levied where applicable. To mitigate project delays, the General Conditions of Contract enforce a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of default, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, thereby safeguarding public exchequer interests.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance under the General Conditions of Contract mandates strict adherence to milestone-based billing linked directly to verified deliverable outputs and research reports. A Defect Liability Period is enforced to rectify any discrepancies in research documentation post-submission. In the event of disputes, resolution shall be sought primarily through amicable conciliation, failing which binding arbitration shall be invoked in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings seated in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be enforced for transparency and corruption prevention.
