e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with digital procurement mandates.

2

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a transparent understanding of the recruitment requirements.

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the specified deadline.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified based on the total cost of the recruitment services.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee as per the tender terms.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Dccd 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 provide proof of executing at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for government or public sector organizations within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for DCCD Director recruitment 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 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate procurement risks, and protect the procuring entity against potential service delivery failures or delays during the recruitment lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments will be released based on defined milestones, such as the submission of a long-list, short-list, and successful onboarding of the Director. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corruption. All service delivery must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), ensuring strict adherence to timelines and confidentiality protocols throughout the recruitment process.
