e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Bidders must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to obtain necessary authentication tokens for participating in the Hstes Director Recruitment tender process.
A pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment requirements.
Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid containing credentials, experience, and compliance documents, and a separate financial bid containing the commercial BoQ for evaluation.
Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids of qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the lowest responsive bidder (L1) based on the quoted service fees.
The procuring entity will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution phase upon receipt of the required Performance Bank Guarantee.

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 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under MSME provisions. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent 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 offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, protect the procuring entity against non-performance, and align with standard public procurement financial discipline and risk mitigation strategies.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments will be linked to specific recruitment milestones, such as candidate shortlisting and final placement. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the quality of candidates provided. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle, maintaining the highest standards of public accountability.
