Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for conducting the written test for the post of Junior Technical Assistant under the CENEXCISEKOCHI Authority involves a strategic financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Contract valuation is determined through a detailed cost-plus estimation per candidate. In compliance with Rule 170, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure performance. Tender documents are hosted digitally without non-refundable fees in line with GeM guidelines. To mitigate schedule slippages, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforces a penalty of 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent, ensuring strict adherence to the recruitment timeline.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by General Conditions of Contract (GCC) adhering to GFR 2017 mandates. Milestone-based billing is enforced tied to key deliverables such as question paper setting, admit card generation, successful exam conduct, and result processing. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to post-exam data accuracy and grievance redressal. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters are referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with jurisdiction at Kochi. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical bidding standards throughout the contract lifecycle.
