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 secure participation in the HWB Authority tender process.

A pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and clarify scope requirements, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the candidate selection process and deliverables.

Bidders are required to submit a two-cover bid system, comprising a technical bid detailing methodology and credentials, and a separate financial bid, ensuring technical qualification precedes commercial evaluation.

Following technical scrutiny, the financial bids (BoQ) of technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued to the successful bidder to initiate the contract agreement.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The List of Selected Candidates the Post 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 percent of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must have successfully executed at least one similar project involving large-scale candidate selection or recruitment services for a government or public sector entity.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License as mandated by prevailing Indian labor laws and regulations.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid Udyam or DPIIT certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment services must be determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and administrative overheads. 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 for MSMEs. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations throughout the contract duration. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain 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 financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with service delivery failures, ensuring the HWB Authority maintains fiscal prudence while securing high-quality professional services for candidate selection.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules 2017 and the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for dispute resolution. Payments will be processed based on milestone achievements verified by the HWB Authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-completion ensures the accuracy of the selected candidate list. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and ethical conduct. All service providers must adhere to strict confidentiality protocols regarding candidate data, with any breach resulting in immediate contract termination and forfeiture of the Performance Bank Guarantee.
