Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for ICSSR-funded field investigator recruitment must be derived from the estimated man-days and professional fee structure. In accordance 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) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. 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% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10%. This ensures financial accountability while protecting the procuring entity against project timeline slippages. All financial instruments must be verified for authenticity through the issuing bank's SFMS platform to maintain procurement integrity and compliance with CVC guidelines.

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. Billing is structured on a milestone basis linked to the successful completion of field data collection phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure data quality and investigator performance. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains ethical, cost-effective, and compliant with ICSSR guidelines.
