Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Ccsniam Director Recruitment entails a strategic contract valuation aligned with high-level executive search mandates. Per GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is strictly fixed at 2 percent of the estimated tender value, acting as a financial deterrent against frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected executive search agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until the completion of the recruitment lifecycle plus the defect liability period. Tender document fees are waived in alignment with digital public procurement directives, though processing fees may apply. Furthermore, to ensure stringent project delivery timelines, the contract incorporates a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforcing a penalty of 0.5 percent of the contract price 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 strictly by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Ccsniam Director Recruitment contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which the matter shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in New Delhi. Milestone billing is tied to distinct deliverables, including candidate sourcing, preliminary screening, shortlist presentation, and final selection support. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to candidate retention terms, ensuring replacement guarantees if the appointed director exits prematurely. Additionally, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure transparency and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle.
