Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess an average annual financial turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, backed by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate successful execution of similar research support projects or academic manpower outsourcing contracts with government or autonomous bodies in the past five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for establishing the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) Department under the CENSUS Authority entails strict adherence to the General Financial Rules (GFR 2017) and Government e-Marketplace (GeM) guidelines. The estimated contract valuation must factor in a non-refundable tender document fee, though MSMEs registered with NSIC or Udyam are exempt. In line with financial prudence, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated tender value is mandated to deter frivolous bidding. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% and 5% of the total contract value to secure faithful performance throughout the research tenure. Furthermore, a rigorous Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforcing a 0.5% deduction per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the contract value, is integrated to ensure timely project delivery and milestone adherence.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract (GCC) mandate stringent adherence to statutory obligations and project milestones. Dispute resolution shall be strictly governed by the provisions of the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with arbitration proceedings held in the designated city of the CENSUS Authority headquarters. Payments will follow a structured milestone-billing mechanism tied to verified deliverable progress and satisfactory performance reports submitted by the ECE Department. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to any administrative or contractual discrepancies identified post-execution. Additionally, an Integrity Pact must be executed to maintain absolute transparency, deterring corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
