e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow
Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain necessary procurement tokens and access the specific HSTES recruitment tender documentation.
Participate in the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the recruitment requirements.
Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and methodology, and the financial proposal, ensuring all documents are uploaded before the specified deadline to avoid disqualification.
The Procuring Entity conducts the technical evaluation, followed by the opening of the commercial Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive bidder (L1).
Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the successful bidder, initiating the formal contract signing and mobilization process.

Bidders participating in Hstes N/A Recruitment must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:
| Evaluation Benchmark | Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant |

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The contract valuation for HSTES recruitment services must be determined based on market benchmarking and historical cost analysis. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent 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 percent of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure fiscal discipline, mitigate financial risk for HSTES, and align with standard public procurement guidelines to maintain transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the Procuring Entity. Payments are structured against verified milestones linked to recruitment stages. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure service quality post-delivery. 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 Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the contractor maintains all statutory compliances throughout the tenure, failing which the contract may be terminated for default.
