Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for CEA Authority regarding Project Technical Support I P 8282 mandates strict adherence to GFR 2017 and GeM financial norms. The estimated contract valuation sets the baseline for financial commitments. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost must be submitted to deter frivolous bidding. Upon successful award, the chosen vendor is required to furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid through the defect liability period. Tender document fees, where applicable, remain strictly non-refundable. To safeguard the procuring entity against project delays, a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5 percent of the contract 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 the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), incorporating milestone-based billing linked to tangible deliverables and service level agreements. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) extends for 12 months post-project completion to rectify any operational anomalies. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in New Delhi.
