e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal using valid DSC tokens to ensure secure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy for the recruitment services tender.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform responses via corrigendum uploaded on the GeM/CPPP portal.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring all mandatory documents are uploaded before the specified bid submission deadline.

Perform technical evaluation of submitted bids against pre-defined criteria, followed by the opening of financial BoQs only for those bidders who qualify the technical stage of the procurement process.

Issue the Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder after final price discovery, ensuring the successful service provider submits the required PBG before the formal contract agreement is signed.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Tcs Recruitment 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 financial turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least three similar recruitment or human resource management projects for government or public sector undertakings in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017, MSMEs and DPIIT-recognized startups are exempted from EMD submission, provided they submit a valid Udyam Registration Certificate or equivalent proof of status.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for TCS recruitment services by HWB Authority must be determined via a detailed market survey to ensure cost-reasonableness. In alignment 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) of 3% to 5% of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks of non-performance, and protect the public exchequer while maintaining a competitive environment for service providers.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the HWB Authority. Payments will be processed based on milestone achievements verified by the project manager. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to service quality. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure transparency, requiring the appointment of an Independent External Monitor to oversee the procurement process and prevent corrupt practices throughout the contract lifecycle.
