Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the Chhindwara Advisor Recruitment under GFR 2017 mandates strict commercial parameters to safeguard public funds. Contract valuation is estimated based on benchmarked consultancy rates for district-level advisory services. In compliance with Rule 170, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value must be submitted by bidders via Bank Guarantee or online transfer, ensuring serious participation. Upon successful award, the selected consultant must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value, valid until 60 days beyond the completion of all contractual obligations. A nominal, non-refundable tender document fee is integrated into the GeM portal workflow. Furthermore, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, 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 timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance under General Financial Rules is governed by rigorous General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising from execution shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue situated at the procuring entity's headquarters. Payments shall follow a structured milestone billing schedule tied to specific deliverable outputs approved by the competent authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is mandated to rectify any discrepancies in advisory reports post-submission. Additionally, an Integrity Pact must be executed for high-value contracts to maintain absolute transparency, deterring corrupt practices and ensuring ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle.
