e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain necessary authentication tokens for secure participation in the HARFISH Authority tender process.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or site-specific requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the veterinary service deliverables.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and compliance documents, and the financial bid, ensuring all mandatory certifications are uploaded to the portal before the deadline.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening where the system evaluates the lowest responsive bidder (L1) based on the submitted price schedule, adhering to the GFR 2017 financial transparency norms.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) issued by the HARFISH Authority, followed by the execution of the formal contract agreement and submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated 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 successful completion of at least one similar veterinary or livestock management project for a government or autonomous body within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Assistant Veterinary Regional Officer role must be derived from the estimated annual expenditure, including professional fees and operational overheads. 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 secure performance obligations. A non-refundable tender fee is typically waived on GeM to promote transparency. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value, ensuring accountability for service delivery timelines. Financial structuring must align with the HARFISH Authority budget cycles to ensure seamless payment processing and fiscal compliance throughout the contract duration.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through a sole arbitrator appointed by the HARFISH Authority. Billing is structured on a milestone basis, linked to the successful submission of monthly veterinary reports and field inspection logs. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to all professional services rendered. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, protecting the interests of both the procuring entity and the service provider under the General Financial Rules.
