e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM 4.0 portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with IT Act provisions.

3

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the financial proposal, ensuring no price disclosure occurs within the technical cover to maintain evaluation integrity.

Payments will be structured against milestone achievements, such as candidate shortlisting and final placement. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment ensures the quality of the provided candidates. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle.
