Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Cmlre vessel management consultant requires meticulous financial structuring under GFR 2017. The estimated contract valuation dictates a 2% Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) to deter non-serious bidders, which must remain valid for 45 days beyond the final bid validity. Upon successful selection, the mandated Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3% to 5% of the total contract value will be enforced to secure defect-free performance and safeguard Cmlre interests. Tender document fees, where applicable, remain strictly non-refundable in line with public procurement norms. Furthermore, the contract embeds a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract price. This ensures strict adherence to project timelines for specialized maritime advisory services.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contractual compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC). All disputes arising out of the vessel management consultancy shall be resolved amicably, failing which they shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Milestone billing shall apply, linking disbursements strictly to deliverables approved by Cmlre. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months shall apply post-completion to rectify any advisory deficiencies. Additionally, an Integrity Pact shall be executed to ensure transparency and eliminate corrupt practices.
