e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and complete mandatory registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate in the DCMSME recruitment tender process.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, with subsequent amendments published as corrigenda to ensure transparency and fair competition.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal with credentials and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price disclosure occurs within the technical documentation package.

The technical evaluation committee will assess bids against pre-qualification criteria, followed by the opening of financial BoQs only for those bidders who qualify the technical stage.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the L1 bidder, initiating the formal contract execution process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Recruitment of Jrf 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 financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years.
Statutory Benchmark	The agency must provide proof of executing at least one similar recruitment or manpower service project for a Government entity or PSU within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act is required.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, MSMEs and Startups are exempted from EMD submission upon production of valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment of Junior Research Fellows (JRF) by DCMSME Authority must be determined based on the total cost of service, including administrative overheads and statutory payments. In alignment with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, to ensure timely delivery of recruitment services and adherence to project timelines.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the DCMSME Authority. Payments will be processed based on milestone achievements, such as the successful onboarding of candidates. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle. All statutory deductions and compliance with labor laws remain the sole responsibility of the service provider, ensuring full adherence to the General Financial Rules.

Procurement & Bidding FAQs — The Recruitment of Jrf

Are Joint Ventures (JV) or Consortiums eligible to bid for this recruitment tender?
