e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Step 1: Vendors must register on the CPPP or GeM portal using a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to access tender documents, download specifications, and participate securely in the electronic tendering process.
Step 2: Prospective bidders should submit formal written queries prior to the pre-bid clarification meeting convened by CGHB to resolve ambiguities regarding the terms of reference and contractual obligations before final submission.
Step 3: Bidders are required to upload a two-cover system comprising Cover A containing technical credentials, statutory compliances, and EMD, and Cover B containing the financial proposal without any price disclosures in the technical cover.
Step 4: Following technical evaluation, the competent authority opens the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial bids of technically qualified bidders on the portal to determine the lowest evaluated compliant bidder for award.
Step 5: The successful L1 bidder receives the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from CGHB, requiring unconditional acceptance, submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee, and execution of the formal contract agreement within the stipulated timeframe.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for the engagement of a consultant by CGHB mandates a robust commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation is structured to ensure competitive yet quality-driven bidding. Bidders must remit a non-refundable tender document fee and submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected consultant must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure faithful performance throughout the project lifecycle. To mitigate project delays, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying a penalty of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract price, ensuring strict adherence to timelines.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract strictly adheres to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), incorporating milestone-based billing linked to verifiable deliverables and output reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is enforced post-completion to rectify any discrepancies or deficiencies in the consultancy services. For transparency and probity, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved amicably through mutual negotiations, failing which the matter shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, with proceedings conducted in English at the designated CGHB jurisdiction.
