Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the recruitment of Scientific Officers in the Regional Drugs Testing Laboratory under CDSCO involves a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation must be determined based on service-level agreements and man-month rates. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of exactly 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to deter non-serious bidders, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value shall be secured from the successful bidder to ensure defect-free service delivery. Tender document fees are kept non-refundable in accordance with standard public procurement guidelines. To safeguard public exchequer interests against delay, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause of 0.5 percent of the delayed delivery or milestone value per week, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the contract value, is enforced.

The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends throughout the operational deployment of the recruited personnel to address any replacement needs for non-performing resources. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably through conciliation, failing which matters will be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, with proceedings held in New Delhi.
