e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Step 1: Vendors must complete mandatory digital token registration and profile validation on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 platform to ensure authorized bidding access.

Step 2: Prospective bidders actively participate in the pre-bid clarification meeting to submit technical queries, review amendments, and seek vital scope finalizations from the CENSUS Authority.

Step 3: Bidders compile and upload the comprehensive two-cover bid, segregating unpriced technical credentials and statutory compliances into Cover One prior to the submission deadline.

Step 4: Following successful technical evaluation, authorized evaluators securely open the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial bids on the portal to determine the lowest evaluated compliant bidder.

Step 5: The CENSUS Authority officially issues the Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful L1 bidder, initiating formal contract acceptance and subsequent PBG submission protocols.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for shortlisted candidates for the post of Junior under the CENSUS Authority involves a carefully structured commercial framework adhering to GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines.

A nominal non-refundable tender document fee applies where applicable. To mitigate project delays, a stringent 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, safeguarding public exchequer interests against default.
