e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must obtain valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and complete mandatory registration on the CPPP or GeM portal to access tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process.
A pre-bid meeting shall be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope requirements, with all amendments or clarifications subsequently published as corrigenda on the official procurement portal.
Bidders are required to submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing credentials and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

Upon successful verification of credentials and receipt of the Performance Bank Guarantee, the Procuring Entity shall issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for the Hciseychelles Advisor Recruitment must be derived through a robust market survey to ensure cost-reasonableness under GFR 2017. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required 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 risks of non-performance, and align with the Ministry of Finance guidelines for public procurement, ensuring the Procuring Entity maintains fiscal accountability throughout the engagement lifecycle.
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 New Delhi. Payments will be released based on milestone-based deliverables verified by the Hciseychelles project lead. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-completion ensures quality assurance. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All financial transactions and reporting must adhere to the General Financial Rules 2017, ensuring that the advisor maintains strict confidentiality and professional standards throughout the tenure of the engagement.
