Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Principal on Contract Basis at GRIID must be derived from a realistic assessment of market-linked remuneration and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the total contract value is required to secure performance obligations throughout the tenure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the contract value, to mitigate risks of non-performance. Financial bids must be submitted via the GeM BoQ, ensuring transparency and adherence to the lowest evaluated responsive bidder (L1) principle, while maintaining strict fiscal discipline throughout the procurement lifecycle.

A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-contract completion ensures accountability for administrative lapses. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions, including TDS and labor cess, will be applied at source. Compliance with the GFR 2017 guidelines remains paramount, ensuring that all service delivery standards meet the institutional requirements of GRIID.
