e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain system tokens for secure document uploading and bid submission.
CSERC shall conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments to the Request for Proposal (RFP) documents for all prospective bidders.
Participants must submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, followed by a separate commercial BoQ covering all professional fees and applicable taxes.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the commercial BoQ of qualified bidders is opened electronically, and the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price for the scope.
Following the finalization of the commercial evaluation and internal approvals, CSERC will issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder to initiate the contract agreement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for CSERC Advisor recruitment must be derived from a realistic market assessment of consultancy rates. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder sincerity, though MSMEs may be exempted per GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required upon award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for project timelines. These parameters align with GFR 2017 provisions to mitigate financial risk for CSERC while maintaining competitive bidding standards. All financial instruments must be verified for authenticity through the issuing bank's SFMS platform to prevent fraudulent submissions.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the CSERC jurisdiction. Payments will be released based on predefined milestone deliverables verified by the project head. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to the advisory output quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the scope defined in the LoA, with strict adherence to confidentiality and non-disclosure protocols throughout the engagement.
