Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for conducting the written test for the post of Technical Assistant Instruments at CGWB Authority involves a carefully structured financial framework under GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation commands strict adherence to standard commercial safeguards. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost ensures serious bidder participation, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent secures post-award performance. Tender document fees are kept nominal and non-refundable where applicable, aligning with digital procurement norms on GeM/CPPP. To protect public exchequer interests against delivery delays, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of default, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters collectively mitigate financial risk and ensure timely, high-quality execution of recruitment testing services.

All disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which they shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the procuring entity's headquarters. Milestone billing is tied to distinct deliverables such as question bank generation, admit card issuance, examination conduct, and final result compilation. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months applies to data integrity and post-exam evaluation accuracy. Furthermore, high-value contracts mandate the execution of an Integrity Pact to ensure transparency and ethical conduct.
