e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with HSFC Authority procurement protocols.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries regarding research scope, eligibility, and SERB guidelines, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of requirements.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including researcher credentials and project methodology, alongside the commercial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

The HSFC Authority technical committee evaluates submitted proposals against defined criteria, followed by the opening of financial BoQs for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive bidder.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued, initiating the contract execution phase subject to performance security submission.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Jrf Vacancy in a Serb Funded 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% of the estimated contract value over the preceding three financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must provide proof of executing at least one similar research-oriented project or academic consultancy work order within the last five years to validate technical competency.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registrations, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with GFR 2017 Rule 170 and the Public Procurement Policy, MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are exempted from EMD submission upon production of valid Udyam or Startup certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for a JRF position under a SERB-funded project by HSFC Authority requires meticulous financial structuring. Given the research-oriented nature, the contract valuation must align with DST/SERB guidelines for JRF emoluments. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% is essential to safeguard the authority against non-performance during the research tenure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, capped at 0.5% per week up to a maximum of 10% of the contract value, acts as a critical deterrent against delays in project deliverables. These parameters ensure fiscal discipline and adherence to the General Financial Rules while maintaining the integrity of the SERB grant utilization.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the HSFC Authority. Payments are linked to specific research milestones verified by the Principal Investigator. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to the accuracy of research data and reports. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring full compliance with CVC guidelines.
