Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for the research assistant and recruitment services must be determined based on market benchmarks and the estimated man-month cost. 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) of 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with service delivery delays or non-performance, aligning with standard public procurement financial prudence and audit requirements for the entity.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to the successful onboarding of research personnel. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All services must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, ensuring that the service provider maintains complete confidentiality and data protection standards throughout the duration of the engagement.
