e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must ensure valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and register on the GeM portal or CPPP to obtain necessary credentials for participating in the CULTURE Authority tender process.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, with all amendments issued as formal corrigenda to ensure transparency for all bidders.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation package.

Following the technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of only the technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the Lowest Evaluated Responsive Bidder (L1).

The CULTURE Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, contingent upon the submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee and contract agreement execution.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Additional Tentative Eq Accept List the Post of Scientific Assistant 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 financial turnover of at least 30% 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 successful execution of at least one similar project or recruitment support service contract for a government entity or autonomous body in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act is required for compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups recognized by DPIIT are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Scientific Assistant recruitment support services must be determined via a detailed cost estimate based on market rates. As per 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 total contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure faithful execution. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate procurement risks for the CULTURE Authority, and align with standard public procurement financial protocols for service-oriented contracts.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the CULTURE Authority. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to successful deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months is applicable to ensure service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that all procurement activities adhere to the highest standards of public accountability and ethical conduct.
