e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with IT Act requirements.

2

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

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal containing credentials and an unpriced BoQ, followed by a separate financial bid containing the detailed price schedule for evaluation.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening only after the technical evaluation committee validates the responsiveness of bidders, ensuring transparency and adherence to the lowest evaluated bidder (L1) selection criteria.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security and signing of the contract agreement within the stipulated validity period.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Cuddalore Technical Assistant Recruitment must be determined based on the total service cost, including administrative overheads and statutory contributions. In alignment with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid 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 secure performance obligations. Tender document fees, if applicable, must be non-refundable and processed via electronic mode. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline and mitigate risks associated with service delivery delays or non-performance by the selected agency.

All disputes arising under this agreement shall be resolved through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Cuddalore.
