e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM portal using valid DSC tokens to ensure secure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy for service-based contracts.

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

Execute a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials in Cover 1 and financial BoQ in Cover 2, ensuring technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial bids.

Perform a rigorous financial opening of the BoQ for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price inclusive of all applicable taxes and statutory levies.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, stipulating timelines for PBG submission and contract signing to initiate the deployment of veterinary field personnel.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Assistant Veterinary Field Officer must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Average Annual Financial Turnover of the bidder must be at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidder must have successfully executed at least one similar project involving the deployment of veterinary or paramedical staff for a government or autonomous body within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory possession of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registrations, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, for the state of operation.
Statutory Benchmark	Exemption from EMD and prior turnover criteria for MSMEs and Startups as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam registration certificates and relevant proof of status.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Assistant Veterinary Field Officer services must be derived from prevailing minimum wage notifications and administrative overheads. As per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% 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 contract value. This structure ensures financial protection for HARFISH Authority while maintaining competitive participation. All financial instruments must be verified through the issuing bank's SFMS portal to ensure authenticity and prevent fraudulent submissions during the procurement lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) aligned with GFR 2017. Dispute resolution shall be conducted through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the HARFISH Authority headquarters. Payments will be processed on a milestone basis upon verification of monthly attendance and service reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months applies to service quality deficiencies. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the service delivery period, binding both the authority and the service provider.
