e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and service provider on the GeM 4.0 portal using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy.

2

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

3

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the Technical Bid (credentials, experience, and compliance documents) and the Financial Bid (BoQ) separately to maintain the integrity of the evaluation process.

4

Perform technical evaluation of submitted documents followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the Lowest Evaluated Responsive Bidder (L1).

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) incorporating all terms and conditions of the tender.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Gsv OF STUDENT COUNSELLOR 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 financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar project involving the recruitment or deployment of professional counsellors for government or reputed educational institutions.
Statutory Benchmark Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark Exemption from EMD submission is applicable for MSMEs and Startups recognized by DPIIT, subject to the submission of valid Udyam Registration Certificates as per GFR 2017 Rule 170.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Student Counsellor recruitment service must be derived from the estimated annual expenditure, including professional fees and statutory overheads. 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 contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate procurement risks, and align with the standard financial prudence required for public sector service outsourcing while maintaining transparency and accountability in the tendering process.

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. Billing shall follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful candidate onboarding and monthly performance reviews. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality, ensuring replacement of underperforming staff. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions, including TDS and labor welfare cesses, must be strictly adhered to, ensuring full compliance with the General Financial Rules and relevant labor legislations throughout the contract tenure.
