Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement dossier for the Coffeeboard Advisor Recruitment outlines stringent commercial safeguards aligned with GFR 2017 and GeM mandates. The contract valuation must be realistically estimated based on market rates for high-level advisory services. To ensure genuine bidder participation, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated cost is mandated, acceptable via Bank Guarantee or online transfer, with MSME exemptions strictly per Rule 170. Upon successful award, the selected consultant must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value, valid until 60 days beyond the warranty or defect liability period. Tender document fees are kept nominal or zero where mandated by public procurement policy for electronic portals. Finally, to mitigate project delays, a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is enforced, levying 0.5% of the delayed milestone value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contract compliance is governed by the General Conditions of Contract, incorporating milestone-based billing linked to verified deliverables and reports submitted to the Coffeeboard. A defect liability period applies to rectify any discrepancies or deficiencies in advisory outputs identified post-submission. To maintain absolute transparency and curb malpractices, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts. In the event of disputes or contractual disagreements, the matter shall first be referred to an independent conciliation committee. Unresolved disputes shall be subjected to binding arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with proceedings held in English at the designated headquarters of the Coffeeboard, and courts at that jurisdiction retaining exclusive legal purview.
