Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Cmlre s on a project mode during Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Annual Turnover Criteria Bidders must possess a minimum average annual financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Similar Project Execution Experience Past Work Orders must demonstrate successful completion of similar recruitment or large-scale project mode execution works for government departments, PSUs, or autonomous bodies in the last seven years.
Statutory Licenses and Compliance Bidders must possess mandatory statutory registrations including valid GSTIN, Permanent Account Number (PAN), EPF, ESI, and appropriate labor licenses applicable to the jurisdiction of work execution.
MSME and Startup Exemptions Micro and Small Enterprises and recognized Startups are exempted from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid Udyam or DPIIT certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for project mode recruitment services at Cmlre necessitates a rigorous financial structuring in alignment with GFR 2017 and GeM guidelines. The estimated contract valuation must factor in comprehensive scope deliverables. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at 2 percent of the estimated value is mandated to deter frivolous bids, payable via demand draft, banker's cheque, or bank guarantee. Upon successful selection, the L1 vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value to secure performance obligations throughout the project lifecycle. Tender document fees are generally exempted for MSMEs and startups in accordance with public procurement policies. To mitigate project delays, the contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, levying 0.5 percent of the delayed delivery value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The General Conditions of Contract mandate adherence to statutory laws and Cmlre governance frameworks. Milestone billing is tied to distinct recruitment phases, ensuring payments are disbursed only upon satisfactory deliverable verification. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) is enforced to rectify any post-implementation discrepancies. Any disputes arising out of the contract shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters will be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated Cmlre jurisdiction. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact executed between Cmlre and the bidders reinforces transparency, prohibiting corrupt practices, bribery, and collusive behavior throughout the procurement and execution lifecycle.
