e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Procuring entity registers the requirement on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring digital signature certificates are active for all authorized signatories to initiate the electronic tendering process for faculty recruitment.

A pre-bid clarification meeting is conducted to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and clarity regarding the scope of work, honorarium structures, and specific departmental academic requirements.

Bidders submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials, experience, and statutory compliance documents, followed by a separate financial bid containing the commercial proposal for the services.

The technical evaluation committee reviews submissions for eligibility, followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive bidder (L1) for the contract.

Upon successful evaluation and financial approval, the CSB Authority issues the Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, formalizing the contractual obligation and initiating the service commencement timeline.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Recruitment of 5 Five Guest Faculties in the Department must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least one similar service contract for academic or professional staffing in a government or autonomous institution in the last three years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations is required, alongside a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam registration certificates during the bid submission.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for five guest faculties by CSB Authority necessitates a precise valuation based on prevailing UGC/AICTE norms for honorarium. Given the service-oriented nature, an EMD of 2% of the estimated annual value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against service default. Tender document fees are typically waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is critical, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the contract value. This structure ensures financial discipline, protects the procuring entity against non-performance, and aligns with GFR 2017 guidelines for service contracts, ensuring that the CSB Authority receives high-quality academic services within the stipulated budgetary framework.

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 CSB Authority. Payments shall be processed on a monthly milestone basis upon verification of attendance and service delivery. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the quality of academic output. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for contracts exceeding the prescribed threshold to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the tenure of the faculty engagement.
