e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with electronic procurement guidelines for GSV.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform responses via formal corrigendum uploads on the portal.

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover documents.

4

Execute the commercial BoQ financial opening process where the system ranks bidders based on the lowest evaluated price, provided they have successfully cleared the technical evaluation criteria set by GSV.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee within the stipulated timeframe.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for GSV Consultant recruitment necessitates a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be derived from a realistic market estimate to ensure competitive bidding. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) set at 2% of the estimated value acts as a deterrent against non-serious bidders, while a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% ensures long-term contractual commitment. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, though offline tenders may mandate non-refundable processing charges. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. This structure balances the procuring entity's risk mitigation with the vendor's financial exposure, ensuring that the consultant delivers high-quality services within the stipulated timelines while maintaining fiscal discipline throughout the project lifecycle.

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 procuring entity. Payments are structured via milestone billing linked to specific deliverables verified by the project manager. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months post-completion ensures quality assurance. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to maintain transparency and ethical standards. All service delivery must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), ensuring that the consultant remains liable for professional negligence and maintains strict confidentiality regarding all project-related data and intellectual property.

Does the contract include a Price Variation Clause (PVC)?

How are technical evaluation marks calculated?

Technical evaluation is based on a Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) model, where bidders are scored on methodology, team expertise, and past performance before financial opening.

Yes, for contracts exceeding the threshold defined by the CVC guidelines, the Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices.
