e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

The bidder must ensure valid registration on the GeM portal or CPPP with a Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to participate in the tendering process for the HPMANDI Authority procurement.

A pre-bid meeting shall be convened to address technical queries and scope clarifications, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the placement cell requirements before final bid submission.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid containing credentials, experience, and methodology, and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price disclosure occurs within the technical documentation.

Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.

The HPMANDI Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the subsequent mobilization of the placement cell services.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Career Development and Placement Cell 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	The bidder must provide proof of successfully executing at least one similar project related to career counseling, placement services, or human resource development for government or reputed private entities.
Statutory Benchmark	The agency must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are eligible for exemption from EMD submission upon providing valid registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Career Development and Placement Cell must be determined via a detailed market survey and cost estimation. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, must be non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent of the contract price per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely service delivery and accountability of the service provider throughout the project lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the HPMANDI Authority jurisdiction. Payments shall be processed on a milestone-based billing cycle linked to verified placement outcomes. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months post-completion is mandatory to ensure service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement and execution phases of the placement cell project.
