Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value.

An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. The contractor must adhere to strict confidentiality protocols regarding examination content, with any breach resulting in immediate contract termination and forfeiture of the Performance Bank Guarantee.
