Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must have successfully executed at least one similar project of providing accounting or financial consultancy services to a government entity or public sector undertaking in the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Assistant Accounts Officer engagement must be determined based on the prevailing market rates for professional consultancy services. As per GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid 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 from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are typically non-refundable to cover administrative processing costs. The contract must incorporate a 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. These parameters ensure financial discipline and protect the Hapur Authority against potential service delivery failures or contractual breaches during the tenure.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Hapur. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to the submission of monthly financial reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the accuracy of the accounting services rendered. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that all financial transactions remain compliant with the Hapur Authority internal audit standards and statutory financial regulations.
