e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and organizational credentials are uploaded to initiate the electronic tender publication process.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective recruitment agencies, ensuring all amendments are published as corrigenda to maintain transparency and competitive fairness for all bidders.

3

Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials and financial bids separately, ensuring technical evaluation is completed and finalized before the opening of the commercial BoQ.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 agency based on the lowest evaluated price while ensuring compliance with all financial and service parameters.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to formalize the recruitment service delivery obligations.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for recruitment services for the Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) Finance Officer position requires a meticulous financial structure. Given the professional nature of the service, the estimated contract value must be derived from market benchmarking of executive search firms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170 of GFR 2017. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is essential to secure the university against service failure. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline procurement must adhere to standard fee structures. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, capped at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, serves as a critical deterrent against delays in the recruitment timeline, ensuring the university maintains its administrative continuity.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules 2017. Dispute resolution will be strictly handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Patna. Payments will be linked to specific milestones, such as the publication of advertisements, shortlisting of candidates, and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the recruitment process, ensuring the agency remains accountable for candidate background verification. An Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and adherence to ethical procurement standards throughout the tenure of the recruitment contract.
