e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain system credentials for participating in the HPMANDI Authority tender process.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid meeting to seek clarifications on technical specifications or scope of work, ensuring all queries are submitted within the stipulated timeframe for official addendum issuance.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal with supporting credentials and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the specified deadline.

Participate in the technical evaluation process where the committee assesses compliance; qualified bidders proceed to the financial opening stage where the lowest responsive bidder is identified.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from the HPMANDI Authority, followed by the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee and signing of the formal contract agreement.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Career Counselling Camp 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 financial turnover of at least 30 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must have successfully executed at least one similar career counselling or event management project of comparable scale for a government department or PSU in the last three years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Career Counselling Camp must be derived from a realistic market estimate, ensuring transparency under GFR 2017. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt per Rule 170. A PBG of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to guarantee performance. Tender fees, if applicable, must be non-refundable and processed via electronic mode. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value. This structure protects the HPMANDI Authority against non-performance while ensuring competitive participation. All financial instruments must be verified for authenticity via the issuing bank's SFMS platform to prevent fraudulent submissions, ensuring the financial integrity of the procurement process throughout the project 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 the jurisdiction of the HPMANDI Authority. Payments will be released based on defined milestones upon successful completion and verification of services. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the quality of deliverables. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All contractors must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and maintain comprehensive records for audit purposes throughout the tenure of the agreement.
