e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP, ensuring digital signature certificates are active for all authorized signatories to initiate the tender publication process for consultant recruitment.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring all amendments or clarifications are published as corrigenda to maintain transparency and fair competition.

3

Execute a two-cover system submission where bidders upload technical credentials in the first cover and financial quotes in the second, ensuring no price disclosure occurs during the technical evaluation.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening only for technically qualified bidders, ensuring the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated cost as per the defined evaluation matrix.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security and signing of the contract agreement within the stipulated validity period.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for GSV Consultant Recruitment must be derived from a realistic Market Survey and Cost Estimate. 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) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM/CPPP to promote transparency. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial protection for GSV while maintaining competitive participation, ensuring that the financial burden on the consultant is commensurate with the scope of services provided.

Payments are structured against milestone-based deliverables to ensure accountability. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months post-completion is mandatory to rectify any service deficiencies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is essential for high-value contracts to ensure ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle. All deliverables must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) stipulated by GSV, ensuring that the consultant maintains professional standards and statutory compliance throughout the tenure of the engagement.
