e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with IT Act provisions.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform responses via published corrigenda on the portal.

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate commercial BoQ, ensuring no financial figures are disclosed within the technical cover.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, where the lowest evaluated responsive bidder (L1) is identified based on the total cost of services provided.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the service level agreement and submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Cpcb Director Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must have successfully executed at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for Government organizations or PSUs within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for CPCB Director recruitment involves high-stakes professional services, necessitating a robust financial framework. The contract valuation must be determined based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% acts as a safeguard against non-performance. A non-refundable tender fee is typically waived on GeM, but if processed via CPPP, it must be nominal. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value, ensuring accountability. These parameters align with GFR 2017 guidelines, balancing the need for quality recruitment outcomes with financial risk mitigation for the Central Pollution Control Board. All financial instruments must be verifiable through the SFMS platform to prevent fraudulent submissions.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be strictly handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in New Delhi. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment ensures the candidate's retention and performance stability. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service deliverables must adhere to the CPCB's internal recruitment policies and the overarching constitutional mandates regarding reservation and equal opportunity in public employment.
