Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for CUG Research Staff and Teaching Positions recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on the volume of candidates and the complexity of the selection process. 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 essential to secure performance throughout the tenure. While tender fees are generally discouraged on GeM, if applicable, they 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, ensuring the service provider remains accountable for timelines while protecting the university from excessive financial exposure.
