Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for Chemicals Driver Recruitment establishes a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation dictates a non-refundable tender document fee, though MSMEs registered on the Central Public Procurement Portal may claim exemptions. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost must be submitted via electronic bank transfer or bank guarantee to secure bidder intent. Upon successful award, the selected vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to safeguard against default. Furthermore, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying a penalty of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, subject to a maximum cap of 10 percent of the total contract price, ensuring strict adherence to service delivery timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract mandate stringent adherence to statutory obligations and project milestones. Milestone billing is tied to verified deployment and monthly timesheet approvals of certified drivers. A Defect Liability Period is enforced for service deficiencies, ensuring corrective action within defined SLAs. To maintain transparency, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders. Any disputes arising from the contract shall be resolved amicably through senior management conciliation. Unresolved disputes must be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, with proceedings held in English at the procuring entity headquarters, and courts at that jurisdiction retaining exclusive oversight.
