Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for the Hardoi N/A Recruitment project must be derived from a realistic cost estimate based on market rates for recruitment services. In accordance with 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 safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees, if applicable, must be non-refundable and processed via electronic mode. The contract shall 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, mitigate procurement risks, and align with standard public procurement financial protocols for government services in India.
