e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must complete mandatory registration on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to obtain system-generated tokens for secure participation in the electronic tendering process.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be convened to address technical queries and scope ambiguities, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the Project Universal requirements before submission.

Participants must submit a two-cover bid system, where the technical cover includes credentials and compliance documents, while the financial cover contains the priced BoQ, ensuring separation of technical and commercial evaluation.

Upon successful technical qualification, the commercial BoQ of eligible bidders will be opened electronically, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the total quoted value inclusive of taxes.

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

The Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) is set between 3 to 5 percent of the contract value to secure performance obligations throughout the tenure. Tender document fees are non-refundable to cover administrative processing costs. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery. Financial evaluation will prioritize the lowest evaluated responsive bidder (L1) based on the Bill of Quantities (BoQ). All financial transactions and guarantees must adhere to the standard formats prescribed by the HSFC Authority to maintain fiscal transparency and mitigate financial risk during the project lifecycle.
