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 are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are 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, risk mitigation, and adherence to standard public procurement guidelines while maintaining transparency throughout the recruitment lifecycle.

An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corruption and ensure ethical conduct. All payments are subject to statutory deductions, and the contractor must maintain strict confidentiality regarding candidate data in compliance with the Information Technology Act and relevant data protection standards.
