e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity and vendors on the GeM portal or CPPP using valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to ensure secure authentication and compliance with electronic procurement guidelines for government entities.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders receive uniform responses via formal corrigendum uploads on the procurement portal.

3

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

4

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders only, ensuring the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price in accordance with the GFR 2017 guidelines.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security, marking the commencement of the contract and the initiation of the recruitment project.

Statutory Benchmark The bidder must demonstrate an average annual 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 executing at least one similar recruitment or human resource management project for a government or public sector entity within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the IAS Career Insight Recruitment project must be determined via a detailed market survey to ensure cost-reasonableness under GFR 2017. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total 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, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate procurement risks, and align with the General Financial Rules to maintain transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment service 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 will be processed based on milestone billing linked to recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to ensure service quality post-recruitment. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards. All service delivery must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) stipulated in the tender document, ensuring full compliance with statutory labor laws and financial regulations throughout the tenure.
