Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Cihcs Director Recruitment involves a specialized executive search mandate with structured financial safeguards aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM standards. The estimated contract valuation warrants an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to ensure diligent service delivery. A nominal non-refundable tender document fee is levied as per institutional policy. To mitigate schedule overruns, 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 the recruitment timeline.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), ensuring rigorous adherence to execution timelines. Milestone billing is tied to specific deliverables such as candidate sourcing, shortlist finalization, and successful onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to replacement guarantees for recruited candidates who leave prematurely. All disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably through conciliation, failing which they shall be referred to a sole arbitrator appointed by Cihcs in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandated to ensure absolute transparency and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle.
