Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value over the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must provide proof of successfully executing at least three similar executive recruitment projects for government entities or public sector undertakings within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Finance Officer recruitment at Cus requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate risks of non-performance, and maintain transparency throughout the recruitment lifecycle, adhering to standard public procurement financial protocols.

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 successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality, ensuring replacement if a candidate resigns prematurely. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corruption. All procurement activities must strictly adhere to GFR 2017 guidelines, ensuring that the service provider maintains statutory compliance throughout the tenure, with the Procuring Entity reserving the right to terminate for material breach.
