e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM 4.0 portal using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with CPPP-integrated procurement guidelines.

2

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

3

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal containing credentials and statutory documents, followed by a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price disclosure in the technical envelope.

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening after the technical evaluation committee confirms the responsiveness of bidders, identifying the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, stipulating the timeline for PBG submission and the subsequent signing of the formal contract agreement.

The procurement for Howrah at JJB Recruitment requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed cost estimate based on prevailing market rates and minimum wage notifications.

A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable.
