Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The financial evaluation for the Chandigarhdistrict N/A Recruitment contract mandates stringent adherence to GFR 2017 and GeM frameworks. The estimated contract valuation dictates an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed strictly at 2 percent of the estimated cost to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful selection, the lowest evaluated responsive bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to safeguard against execution default. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is applicable unless exempt under specific MSME provisions. Furthermore, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract price, ensuring strict adherence to project timelines and deliverables.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), mandating milestone-based billing linked to verified service delivery outputs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is enforced to rectify any discrepancies post-execution. To ensure absolute transparency, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value procurements. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved amicably through conciliation failing which they shall be referred to sole arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue of arbitration located in Chandigarh.
