Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Cercind Consultant Recruitment requires rigorous commercial structuring in alignment with the General Financial Rules (GFR 2017) and GeM guidelines. The contract valuation must be determined via robust market research, incorporating an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at two percent of the estimated value to deter frivolous bids. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from three to five percent of the total contract value shall be mandated from the successful bidder to ensure defect-free service execution and safeguard public funds. Tender document fees, where applicable, shall be non-refundable. Furthermore, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying zero point five percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped strictly at ten percent of the total contract value to enforce timely delivery.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is anchored in strict adherence to General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Dispute resolution shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, designating a sole arbitrator mutually agreed upon by Cercind and the consultant. Payments shall be disbursed through structured milestone billing tied to verifiable deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is enforced post-completion to rectify discrepancies in recruitment outcomes. Additionally, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices and ensuring absolute adherence to ethical public procurement standards throughout the project lifecycle.
