e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

The bidder must ensure valid DSC and registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate, ensuring all organizational profiles and mandatory certifications are updated before the tender publication date.

A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and scope clarifications, with all amendments or corrigenda published on the portal to ensure transparency for all prospective recruitment agencies.

3

Bidders must submit a two-cover bid: the first containing technical credentials, statutory documents, and experience proofs, and the second containing the financial BoQ, ensuring no price details appear in the technical cover.

Post-technical evaluation, the financial bids of only technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal, followed by a comparative statement generation to identify the L1 bidder for the contract.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued, requiring the bidder to submit the PBG and sign the agreement.

Statutory Benchmark The bidder must provide proof of successfully executing at least one similar recruitment project for a Central or State Government entity or a Central University 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, 1970, is required for compliance.
Statutory Benchmark In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, registered MSMEs and Startups are exempted from EMD submission upon providing valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment services at CUO must be determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and service scope. In alignment with GFR 2017, an 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 safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with the recruitment process, ensuring the procuring entity remains protected throughout the contract lifecycle.

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the CUO jurisdiction. Payments will be processed based on milestone achievements, such as completion of screening, conducting examinations, and final report submission. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment is applicable to ensure data integrity. Furthermore, for high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to maintain transparency, prevent corruption, and ensure ethical conduct throughout the entire recruitment service delivery period.
