e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Registration on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 using a valid Class III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain necessary credentials for participating in the CWPRS recruitment tender.

2

Conducting a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing formal amendments or clarifications via corrigendum on the official procurement portal.

3

Submission of a two-cover system comprising the technical bid, detailing the methodology and credentials, and the commercial bid, ensuring no financial figures are disclosed within the technical documentation.

4

Opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) only for bidders who qualify the technical evaluation, followed by a comparative statement generation to identify the lowest responsive bidder (L1).

5

Issuance of the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder after internal financial concurrence, marking the commencement of the contract period and the initiation of performance security submission.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Cwprs Director Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must have successfully executed at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for government organizations or autonomous bodies in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark Mandatory possession of valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark Compliance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 regarding EMD exemption for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) and Startups recognized by DPIIT, subject to submission of valid Udyam or Startup registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Director position at CWPRS requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarking for senior executive search services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for registered MSMEs. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on the GeM portal to encourage competition. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment milestones. This structure balances financial risk mitigation with the administrative requirements of a premier research organization under the Ministry of Jal Shakti.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Pune. Payments will be linked to specific recruitment milestones, such as the submission of a long-list and final candidate selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process to ensure candidate retention. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices, requiring the bidder to commit to ethical conduct throughout the engagement duration.
