e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Step 1: Vendors must register on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 using valid Class III Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to access tender documents and initiate bid preparation securely.

Step 2: Prospective bidders participate in the pre-bid clarification meeting to resolve technical ambiguities, submit written queries, and review subsequent corrigendums issued by the CHT Authority.

Step 3: Bidders compile and upload the two-cover bid, ensuring the technical cover contains all pre-qualification documents, compliance sheets, and methodology statements without revealing financial details.

Step 4: Following technical evaluation, the CHT Authority opens the commercial BoQ financial bids of qualified tenderers on the portal to determine the lowest evaluated responsive bidder.

Step 5: The competent authority issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, requiring timely acceptance and submission of the mandatory Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Strategy must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must demonstrate a minimum Annual Financial Turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets and profit-and-loss statements.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must have successfully executed similar strategic consultancy or advisory projects for government entities or public sector undertakings during the past seven years, meeting specific threshold values per completed work order.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must possess mandatory statutory registrations including valid GSTIN, Permanent Account Number (PAN), EPF, ESI registrations, and applicable state or central labor licenses in good standing.
Statutory Benchmark	Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) and recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, subject to submission of valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Strategy services by CHT Authority involves a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017 guidelines. The contract valuation is established through detailed cost estimation, ensuring budgetary prudence. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids, accepted via bank guarantee or electronic transfer. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% to 5% of the contract value to secure faithful execution. Tender document fees are structured transparently as non-refundable administrative charges, where applicable. To mitigate project delays, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10%, ensuring strict adherence to timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), mandating milestone-based billing linked to verifiable deliverables and 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 tenders, overseen by Independent External Monitors. Any disputes arising from the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings conducted in English at the designated jurisdiction of the CHT Authority.

Are Joint Ventures (JVs) or Consortiums eligible to bid for this Strategy tender?

Joint Ventures are generally discouraged unless explicitly stated in the tender document. If permitted, the lead partner must meet at least 60% of the qualifying criteria.

What is the acceptable format and validity required for the EMD Bank Guarantee?

What is the standard bid validity period for this procurement?

Bids shall remain valid for acceptance for a period of 180 days from the last date of bid submission, during which no price escalations are permitted.

Does the contract include a Price Variation Clause (PVC)?

What is the qualifying technical score threshold during evaluation?

Bidders must secure a minimum technical score of 70 marks out of 100 under the Quality-cum-Cost Based Selection (QCBS) or Least Cost System framework specified in the RFP.
