e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain necessary credentials for participating in the recruitment services tender process.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or corrigenda to the tender document before the final submission deadline.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the commercial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded as per the specified formats and digital signing requirements.

Execute the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the price bids of technically qualified bidders are evaluated to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated cost.

Issue the Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after obtaining necessary financial concurrence and internal approvals, followed by the formal signing of the service level agreement.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Recruitment of Various Posts in Qci 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 percent 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 executing at least three similar recruitment or human resource assessment projects for government entities or public sector undertakings within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME and Startup entities are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for recruitment services at QCI must be determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and complexity of assessment modules. Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2 percent 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 percent of the contract value is required post-award to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks for the CUG Authority, and align with standard public procurement practices to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Delhi. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements, such as completion of screening, assessment, and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment data accuracy. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency. The contractor must maintain absolute confidentiality of candidate data, complying with the Information Technology Act and relevant data protection standards throughout the engagement period.

Procurement & Bidding FAQs — Recruitment of Various Posts in Qci

Are Joint Ventures (JV) or Consortiums eligible to participate in this recruitment tender?

Unless explicitly stated in the tender document, JVs are generally discouraged for service contracts to ensure single-point accountability; however, sub-contracting specific non-core tasks may be permitted with prior approval.

What is the prescribed format for the EMD Bank Guarantee?

The EMD Bank Guarantee must be submitted in the standard format provided in the tender document, issued by a scheduled commercial bank, and remain valid for 45 days beyond the final bid validity period.

What is the standard bid validity period for this procurement?

The standard bid validity period is 180 days from the date of technical bid opening, during which the bidder cannot withdraw or alter their offer.

Does the contract include a Price Variation Clause (PVC)?

Recruitment service contracts are typically fixed-price contracts; however, if the contract duration exceeds 24 months, a limited PVC linked to the Consumer Price Index may be considered.

How are technical evaluation marks calculated for the bidders?

Technical evaluation is based on a Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) or Least Cost Selection (LCS) method, where bidders must score a minimum threshold of 70 percent to qualify for financial opening.

Can an MSME claim exemption from the Performance Bank Guarantee?

No, while MSMEs are exempt from EMD under Rule 170, they are generally required to submit the Performance Bank Guarantee to ensure contract performance unless specific government orders state otherwise.
