Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for Hstes Director Recruitment requires a precise valuation based on market benchmarks for executive search services. In accordance with GFR 2017, 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 must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with high-stakes executive recruitment, aligning with standard public procurement financial discipline.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in the jurisdiction of the Hstes headquarters. Billing will be linked to specific recruitment milestones, such as candidate shortlisting and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment ensures the quality of the placed candidate. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must strictly adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) and the specific terms outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP) to maintain legal and operational integrity.
