Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for GSV Consultant Recruitment must be derived from a realistic cost estimate based on market benchmarks. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (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) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they must be non-refundable. The contract must 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 consultancy services and protecting the procuring entity against financial loss due to project slippage.

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments are structured via milestone-based billing linked to specific deliverables and quality sign-offs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to all consultancy outputs, ensuring accountability for errors or omissions. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle, reinforcing the commitment to fair competition and public accountability as per GFR guidelines.
