e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Vendors must complete mandatory registration on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain system credentials and participate in the electronic tendering process.
A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and scope clarifications, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the stenographic requirements and service level expectations.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system bid, comprising a technical proposal detailing staff qualifications and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.
Following technical evaluation, the financial bids of technically qualified vendors will be opened on the portal, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest quoted service rate.
Upon successful verification of documents and financial approval, the procuring entity will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract execution phase.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Crridom Steno Recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for stenographic services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% 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% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. 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% per week of delay, with a cumulative ceiling of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with service non-performance, ensuring the procuring entity remains protected throughout the contract lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments will be processed against verified milestone achievements. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to ensure the quality of recruitment outcomes. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that the service provider adheres to all statutory labor laws and ethical standards throughout the engagement.
