Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for CPCB Links Written Recruitment necessitates a precise valuation based on the estimated volume of candidates and logistical overheads. Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemption under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value. This framework ensures financial accountability, mitigates risk for the Central Pollution Control Board, and aligns with standard public procurement financial discipline and audit requirements.

Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Delhi. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful completion of recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is mandatory to address any data discrepancies. Furthermore, the bidder must sign an Integrity Pact to ensure transparency and ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle, strictly adhering to CPCB guidelines and preventing any form of corrupt practice during the examination process.
