Participate actively in the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to submit technical or commercial queries regarding the psychologist recruitment scope, ensuring all prospective ambiguities are resolved officially.

Prepare and submit the two-cover bid meticulously, uploading technical credentials, statutory compliances, and past performance credentials in Cover 1, and the financial BoQ in Cover 2.

Await the opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) financial cover following the successful technical evaluation of bids by the designated committee of the CIHTS Authority.

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The commercial structuring for the recruitment of psychologists at CIHTS Authority aligns strictly with GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines. The estimated contract valuation reflects professional consulting and human resource deployment scope. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated tender value is mandated to secure the bid against frivolous submissions. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value within 15 days of receiving the Letter of Award, valid until the completion of all contractual obligations. Tender document fees are maintained as non-refundable as per institutional norms. To safeguard institutional interests, a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforces a penalty of 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring strict adherence to service level agreements.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), emphasizing strict adherence to timelines and professional deliverables. Milestone billing is structured upon the successful completion of distinct recruitment phases, such as shortlisting, written assessment, and final interviews. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to rectify any administrative anomalies arising post-placement. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with the contract shall be settled through binding arbitration in accordance with the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held at the designated jurisdiction of the CIHTS Authority. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is enforced to maintain transparency and eliminate corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
