e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must ensure valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and register on the GeM portal or CPPP to obtain necessary tokens for secure electronic submission of procurement documents.
A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, with all amendments formally published as corrigenda on the procurement portal.
The two-cover system requires the submission of technical credentials in Cover-I, ensuring all statutory documents and experience certificates are uploaded without revealing any financial pricing information.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of qualified vendors will be opened electronically, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest evaluated price.
Following the financial evaluation and internal approval, the Procuring Entity will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder to initiate the contract agreement.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for the Darjeeling PDF Document Notice Recruitment project must be determined based on the estimated volume of document processing and recruitment support services. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure faithful execution. While tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline procurement must adhere to standard non-refundable fee structures. The contract will incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment services.
