Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Cmet Manager Recruitment under Cmet entails rigorous financial structuring aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM mandates. The estimated contract valuation is determined through market rate analysis for high-level executive search and recruitment services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2% of the estimated cost acts as a deterrent against non-serious bidders. Upon award, the successful agency must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value, valid until the completion of the recruitment mandate plus the defect liability period. Tender document fees are maintained as non-refundable in accordance with standard public procurement guidelines. To safeguard public funds and ensure timely execution, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying a penalty of 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract price.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
Contract compliance is governed by General Conditions of Contract (GCC) adhering to GFR 2017 norms. Dispute resolution shall be executed through arbitration in India, governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 and subsequent amendments, with the venue designated at the Cmet headquarters city. Payments will be disbursed based on milestone billing tied to successful stages of the recruitment lifecycle, such as shortlisting, interview facilitation, and final joining. A defect liability period (DLP) applies to candidate retention terms, mandating replacement provisions if candidates leave prematurely. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is enforced for transparent execution.
