e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary procurement tokens and access the tender document for the research intern recruitment.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all participants receive uniform responses via a published corrigendum on the procurement portal.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the Technical Bid (credentials, methodology, and compliance) and the Financial Bid (BoQ) through the secure portal before the stipulated deadline to ensure transparent evaluation.

Participate in the commercial BoQ financial opening process, where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price, subject to the technical qualification criteria being met successfully.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from IBM Authority, followed by the signing of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) to initiate the recruitment process as per the specified timeline.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Recruitment of Research Intern Fo must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Average Annual Financial Turnover of the bidder must be 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 have successfully executed at least one similar project involving recruitment or human resource management services for a government or reputed private entity in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory possession of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations, along with a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, is required for compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, provided they submit valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment of research interns must be determined based on market-linked service rates, ensuring alignment with GFR 2017 cost-reasonableness standards. 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) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required to secure performance obligations throughout the tenure. 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 total contract value. These parameters ensure financial risk mitigation for IBM Authority while maintaining competitive participation. All financial instruments must be verified against the issuing bank's SFMS platform to ensure authenticity and prevent fraudulent submissions during the procurement lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in the jurisdiction of the IBM Authority headquarters. Billing is structured on a milestone basis linked to successful intern onboarding and performance reporting. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality, ensuring candidates meet the specified academic and skill benchmarks. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC), ensuring strict compliance with statutory labor laws and internal corporate governance policies.
