Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for 'Cmet Consultant Recruitment' by Cmet establishes a robust financial framework adhering to GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The contract valuation is determined through meticulous market estimation. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated cost ensures serious bidder participation, while micro and small enterprises are exempted as per rule 170. Successful bidders must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value to safeguard against default. Tender document fees are structured nominally where applicable, maintaining transparency without creating entry barriers. To mitigate project delays, the liquidated damages (LD) clause enforces a strict penalty of 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent. Milestone-based payments are tied to tangible deliverables, ensuring fiscal prudence and accountability throughout the consultancy lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is anchored in strict adherence to General Conditions of Contract (GCC). Dispute resolution shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes referred to a sole arbitrator appointed mutually by Cmet and the consultant. Milestone billing is enforced to link fund disbursement directly to verified deliverable outputs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies post-completion to rectify any discrepancies in advisory outcomes. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value procurements to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and uphold ethical standards throughout the execution of the consultancy mandate.
