Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Cihcs Director Recruitment involves an estimated contract valuation based on executive search benchmarks. In compliance with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated cost is mandated to ensure serious participation, while micro and small enterprises registered on GeM may avail exemptions subject to valid credentials. Upon successful selection, the L1 vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3% to 5% of the total contract value to secure faithful performance. Due to the specialized nature of C-suite recruitment, tender document fees are kept nominal or waived as per digital procurement policies. Furthermore, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is integrated, levying a penalty of 0.5% of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value to mitigate schedule slippage.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall strictly adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) and General Financial Rules 2017. Milestone billing shall govern the payment schedule, linked directly to the successful shortlisting, interviewing, and final onboarding of the Director. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the recruitment output, ensuring replacement guarantees if the appointed candidate departs within the stipulated timeframe. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be resolved amicably; failing which, they shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. Additionally, an Integrity Pact shall be executed to maintain absolute transparency and prevent corrupt practices.
