e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Ensure valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to obtain necessary credentials for participating in the Crridom Director recruitment tender process.

2

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

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing search methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the specified deadline to avoid disqualification.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders only, ensuring the evaluation committee verifies the lowest responsive bidder (L1) against the estimated budget and market rates.

5

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

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Crridom 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 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The agency must provide proof of successfully executing at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for government organizations or autonomous bodies within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full compliance with Indian statutory and labor law requirements.
Statutory Benchmark MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemptions regarding EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for Crridom Director Recruitment must be determined based on market benchmarking for executive search services. Per GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they 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 contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and risk mitigation for the procuring entity while maintaining compliance with standard public procurement financial norms and ensuring a fair competitive environment for all participating executive search agencies.

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 procuring entity. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to the successful onboarding of the Director. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process to ensure candidate retention. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All deliverables must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) stipulated in GeM 4.0, ensuring that the service provider maintains professional standards throughout the engagement period.
