e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Ensure mandatory enrollment on the designated portal using Class III Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) with combined signing and encryption functions, validating organizational mapping and valid active GeM vendor assessment credentials.
Attend the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to submit formal technical queries regarding staffing specifications, deployment timelines, and service-level agreements, awaiting formal publication of signed corrigenda on the procurement portal.
Upload the two-cover bid electronically prior to the bid submission deadline, segregating the techno-commercial compliance documentation and unpriced schedules from the encrypted commercial bid sheet to avoid outright rejection.
Participate in the electronic opening of Cover-I technical qualifications followed by detailed technical scoring, leading to the subsequent opening of commercial BoQ covers exclusively for technically compliant and shortlisted tenderers.
Acknowledge and accept the formal Letter of Award (LoA) within seven calendar days, submit the stipulated Performance Bank Guarantee, and execute the tripartite contract agreement within the mandated statutory timeframe.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement dossier for the recruitment and human resource outsourcing services under the Coochbehar administration operates strictly under GFR 2017 and GeM 4.0 guidelines. The estimated contract value dictates an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) fixed at precisely 2% of the total estimated value, payable via online treasury challan, demand draft, or bank guarantee from any scheduled commercial bank. Upon issuance of the Letter of Award (LoA), the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value, valid through the contract period plus an additional sixty days for claim lodgment. Non-refundable tender document fees are stipulated as per state procurement thresholds, with waivers extended exclusively to registered MSMEs and certified Startups. Liquidated Damages (LD) are calculated at 0.5% per week of delay or fraction thereof, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10% of the overall contract value, before invoking contract termination and risk purchase.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
All contractual operations are governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) in alignment with Indian administrative jurisprudence. Disputes arising out of the execution of recruitment deployment shall be resolved amicably through mutual conciliation failing which they shall be referred to sole arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (as amended). Milestone billing will occur monthly against verified timesheets, statutory wage compliance receipts, and EPF/ESIC remittance challans. The Defect Liability Period (DLP) requires prompt replacement of non-performing personnel within forty-eight hours without administrative charge. Bidders must sign an Integrity Pact committing to absolute transparency and zero corrupt practices.
