e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and complete mandatory registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to access tender documents and participate in the electronic bidding process.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and compliance requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the project deliverables.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with all supporting credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation.

Upon successful technical evaluation, the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for technically qualified bidders will be opened electronically to determine the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.

The HPMANDI Authority will issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the submission of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Block Programme Officer Final Merit List must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must provide proof of executing at least one similar project involving merit list preparation or data processing for government entities within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registrations, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full compliance with statutory labor and tax regulations.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Block Programme Officer Final Merit List project must be determined based on the estimated volume of data processing and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for registered MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value is required upon award to secure performance obligations. The tender document fee is non-refundable, reflecting administrative costs. To mitigate project delays, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent. These parameters ensure financial discipline and protect the HPMANDI Authority against potential non-performance, aligning with standard public procurement financial protocols.

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 the jurisdiction of the HPMANDI Authority. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements verified against defined deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-delivery is mandatory to address data discrepancies or technical errors. Furthermore, the bidder must sign an Integrity Pact to ensure transparency and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle. All deliverables must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the procurement process remains transparent, competitive, and accountable to public interest.
