e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Procuring entity initiates the process by publishing the Notice Inviting Tender on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring all bidders possess valid Digital Signature Certificates for secure token-based authentication and registration.

2

A pre-bid clarification meeting is convened to address technical queries from prospective bidders, with formal amendments or clarifications subsequently uploaded to the portal to maintain transparency and competitive fairness.

3

Bidders submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid containing credentials and an unpriced BoQ, followed by a separate financial bid, ensuring no price details are disclosed in the technical cover.

4

The technical evaluation committee reviews submissions against eligibility criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the commercial BoQ opening, where the lowest responsive bidder is identified based on the total quoted service cost.

5

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the procuring entity issues the formal Letter of Award to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing and mobilization phase.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Cuddalore Joint Director Recruitment project must be derived from a realistic cost estimate based on market benchmarks for professional recruitment services. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under MSME provisions. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. A nominal non-refundable tender fee may be levied to cover administrative costs. The contract must strictly incorporate a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate procurement risks, and align with the standard financial protocols mandated for government service contracts in India.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) and the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for dispute resolution. Billing will be milestone-based, linked to successful recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to ensure service quality post-delivery. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the specified timelines, with non-compliance triggering the penalty clauses defined in the agreement. The procuring entity reserves the right to terminate the contract for material breaches or insolvency of the service provider.
