e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Vendors must obtain a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and complete mandatory registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate in the Hpkullu recruitment tender process.
A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment deliverables and timelines.
Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation package.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of qualified vendors will be opened online, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest evaluated price.
Following the final approval of the financial bid, the Procuring Entity will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution phase.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Hpkullu N/A Recruitment requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed market survey to establish the Estimated Cost. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees, if applicable, are non-refundable and must be paid via electronic transfer. The contract incorporates a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment services while protecting the Procuring Entity against potential financial losses due to operational slippages.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules 2017. Disputes shall be resolved through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Kullu. Payments are linked to defined milestones, such as the completion of recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the accuracy of the recruitment process. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corruption. The contractor must maintain strict confidentiality and adhere to all statutory labor laws throughout the tenure of the engagement, ensuring full compliance with the Procuring Entity standards.
