Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Cotcorp recruitment advertisement project must be determined based on market rates for media dissemination and recruitment process outsourcing. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, unless exempted for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. The tender document fee is non-refundable, serving as a processing cost. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These financial parameters ensure fiscal discipline and protect the procuring entity against non-performance or delays in the recruitment advertisement lifecycle, aligning with standard public procurement financial protocols.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the Cotcorp headquarters. Payments are structured on milestone billing linked to the successful publication of advertisements and completion of recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the accuracy of published content. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and the specific terms outlined in the tender document.
