e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must ensure valid DSC and registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate, ensuring all organizational credentials and profile details are updated to meet the Hsac procurement requirements.
A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and scope clarifications, with all amendments or corrigenda published on the portal to ensure transparency for all prospective recruitment service providers.
Bidders shall submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover to maintain integrity.

Following the financial evaluation and internal approval, the Procuring Entity will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution and service commencement phase.
