e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to initiate the tender creation process and publish the Notice Inviting Tender.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or corrigenda to the tender document for all participants.

3

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price disclosure occurs within the technical documentation to maintain evaluation integrity.

4

The technical committee evaluates the bids against predefined criteria; subsequently, the commercial BoQ of technically qualified bidders is opened to identify the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price.

5

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission.

Bidders participating in Gsv Junior Research Fellow Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must provide proof of successfully executing at least one similar recruitment or human resource project for a government entity or reputed organization in the last three years.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with Indian labor laws and taxation mandates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Junior Research Fellow (JRF) recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated based on the total cost of recruitment cycles, including administrative overheads. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% is required from the successful bidder to secure contract performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate risks of non-performance, and maintain fiscal discipline throughout the recruitment lifecycle, protecting the procuring entity against potential service delivery failures.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), mandating dispute resolution via the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Billing is structured on milestone achievements, specifically upon the successful onboarding of JRFs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and enforce ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring that all parties maintain strict adherence to the stipulated terms and conditions of the agreement.
