Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for CRIS recruitment services must be determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and service complexity. In alignment with GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. This structure ensures financial protection for CRIS while maintaining competitive participation. All financial instruments must be verified for authenticity through the issuing bank's SFMS platform to mitigate risks of fraudulent guarantees during the procurement lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be conducted under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in New Delhi. Payments will be processed against verified milestone achievements defined in the service level agreement. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the quality of recruitment processes. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions, including TDS and GST, will be applied at source as per prevailing tax laws and government notifications.
Procurement & Bidding FAQs — Cris N/A Recruitment
Unless explicitly permitted in the tender document, JVs are generally discouraged; however, if allowed, all partners must jointly meet the technical and financial criteria.
The EMD Bank Guarantee must be issued by a scheduled commercial bank in the specific format provided by CRIS, valid for 45 days beyond the final bid validity.
The standard bid validity period is 90 to 180 days from the date of technical bid opening, subject to extension if requested by the procuring entity.
Recruitment contracts are typically fixed-price; however, if the contract duration exceeds 24 months, a limited PVC linked to the Consumer Price Index may be considered.
Technical evaluation is based on a Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) or Least Cost Selection (LCS) method, where bidders must score a minimum threshold to qualify.
Bidders may withdraw or modify their bids before the submission deadline; however, withdrawal after the deadline results in the forfeiture of the EMD.
