e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Step 1: Vendors must register on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 platform using valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to access tender documents and decrypt submission files.

Step 2: Prospective bidders should review the tender terms and submit formal written queries prior to the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting hosted by COA Authority to resolve technical and contractual ambiguities.

Step 3: Prepare and upload the two-cover bid containing complete pre-qualification documents, statutory compliances, and detailed technical proposals without disclosing any commercial pricing within the technical envelope.

Step 4: Following technical evaluation and sample or presentation clearances, authorized representatives attend the online financial opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) to determine the lowest responsive bidder.

Step 5: Upon successful financial evaluation, financial concurrence, and internal approvals, COA Authority issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA), followed by contract signing and PBG submission.

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Annual Turnover Criteria	Bidders must possess an average annual financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, substantiated by audited balance sheets.
Similar Project Execution Experience	Successful completion of similar technical manpower supply or scientific project execution works during the last seven years, with specific monetary thresholds for single or multiple orders.

MSME and Startup Exemptions	Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) and recognized Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to furnishing valid UDYOG Aadhar or DPIIT recognition certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the scientific and technical manpower services by COA Authority requires rigorous commercial structuring under GFR 2017. Contract valuation is derived from benchmarked rates for Scientist B, E and II, and Scientific Assistant IV cadres. In compliance with standard financial thresholds, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is set at 2 percent of the estimated value to deter frivolous bids. Upon successful award, the selected vendor must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging between 3 to 5 percent of the contract value, valid through the defect liability and service completion period. Tender document fees are waived per GeM guidelines to encourage wider participation, though processing fees apply. To safeguard public funds against project slippages, a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5 percent of the undelivered milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract price.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) of GFR 2017. Milestone-based billing is tied to verified monthly service delivery schedules and performance sign-offs by COA Authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months applies to all deployed technical deliverables and services. Any contractual disputes shall be resolved amicably, failing which matters are referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated procuring city. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and eliminate corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
