e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain valid Digital Signature Certificates and register on the GeM portal or CPPP to access tender documents, ensuring compliance with organizational authentication protocols for secure electronic bid submission.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be convened to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility criteria, with all amendments issued as formal corrigenda to ensure a level playing field.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid (BoQ), ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation package.

The HWB Authority will conduct a technical evaluation, followed by the opening of financial BoQs for technically qualified bidders to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price.

Upon successful evaluation and approval, the HWB Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Recruitment of Selected and Wait Listed Project 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	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act is required for all participating entities.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, registered MSMEs and Startups are exempted from EMD submission upon providing valid Udyam or DPIIT certification.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment project must be determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and service scope. In alignment with GFR 2017, an 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 3-5% of the contract value is required from 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% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure fiscal discipline and protect the HWB Authority against non-performance, while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the project lifecycle as per standard public procurement guidelines.

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 HWB Authority. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements verified by the project manager. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment completion applies to ensure data accuracy and process integrity. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions, including TDS and labor cess, will be applied at source, ensuring full compliance with the General Financial Rules and prevailing labor laws throughout the tenure.
