Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to cover potential defaults during execution. Tender document fees are waived as per government guidelines for GeM-hosted portals. Liquidated damages (LD) are rigorously enforced at 0.5 percent of the delayed delivery value per week, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, safeguarding public interest against execution delays.
