Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Cukashmir recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract value must be determined based on market benchmarks for recruitment agency commissions or service fees. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. 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, ensuring accountability for timelines in recruitment deliverables while protecting the procuring entity against service lapses.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Srinagar. Payments will be processed based on milestone achievements, such as successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) or service warranty period of one year applies to the quality of recruitment. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring the procuring entity maintains strict adherence to public accountability standards.
