e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM 4.0 portal using valid DSC tokens to ensure secure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy for academic services.

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries regarding faculty qualifications, research requirements, and administrative expectations, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the scope.

Submit the two-cover bid system, comprising the technical proposal with credentials and the commercial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the stipulated deadline to maintain procedural integrity.

Execute the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the system automatically ranks bidders based on the lowest evaluated price, ensuring transparency and adherence to the L1 selection criteria.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the service level agreement to initiate the deployment of Assistant Professors at DBATU.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Assistant Professor must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value over the preceding three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least two similar academic or professional staffing projects in government or autonomous institutions during the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor and taxation laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided valid registration certificates are submitted.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Assistant Professor services at DBATU Authority requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the 7th CPC pay scales or consolidated remuneration packages. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value is essential to safeguard the institution against non-performance. While tender fees are generally waived on GeM, any offline component must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate operational risks, and maintain accountability throughout the tenure of the academic engagement.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration at the DBATU jurisdiction. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to academic semesters and performance appraisals. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) equivalent to the contract duration applies to ensure continuity of service. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be executed to prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that all procurement activities remain transparent, ethical, and compliant with the Central Vigilance Commission guidelines for public sector entities.
