e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must obtain a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and register on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate, ensuring all organizational credentials are verified and updated for secure authentication.
A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, with all responses formally issued as corrigenda to ensure a level playing field.
Bidders must submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price details are disclosed within the technical submission documents.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids (BoQ) of qualified bidders are opened online, and the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated cost for the recruitment services.
The procuring entity issues a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the subsequent submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee by the vendor.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for HSAC N/A Recruitment must be derived from a realistic assessment of market rates for specialized recruitment services, ensuring compliance with GFR 2017 guidelines. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks for HSAC, and align with standard public procurement practices to maintain transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment 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 procuring entity. Payments will be processed based on verified milestone achievements rather than upfront lump sums. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality, ensuring candidates meet the specified competency standards. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corrupt practices. All services must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the recruitment process remains transparent, competitive, and fully compliant with statutory labor regulations throughout the engagement period.
