e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) Class III to obtain necessary procurement tokens for secure bid submission.

Participate in the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to resolve technical queries regarding the JRF/SRF/RA scope, ensuring all amendments are formally published as corrigenda on the portal.

Submit the two-cover bid system: Cover-I containing technical credentials, eligibility documents, and EMD/MSME declaration, and Cover-II containing the financial BoQ strictly as per the specified format.

The technical evaluation committee reviews submitted documents against pre-qualification criteria; qualified bidders proceed to the financial bid opening where the lowest responsive bidder (L1) is identified.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the IBM Authority issues the formal Letter of Award (LoA), initiating the contract execution and fellowship disbursement process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Jrf Srf Ra Position in Sponsored Project Electrical Eng must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Average annual 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	Submission of at least one similar work order executed in a government or autonomous research institution involving the deployment of research personnel in electrical engineering domains.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory possession of valid GSTIN, PAN, and proof of registration with EPF and ESI departments, alongside a valid Labor License as per the Contract Labour Act.
Statutory Benchmark	Exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience criteria for MSMEs and Startups as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the JRF/SRF/RA position project must align with DST/SERB norms. Per GFR 2017, an EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% 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, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value. This structure ensures financial accountability while maintaining competitive participation. All financial instruments must be verified via SFMS/Confirmation from the issuing bank to prevent fraudulent submissions. The procurement entity must ensure that the valuation accounts for statutory fellowship hikes and applicable institutional overheads as per the specific project sanction order.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the procuring entity. Payments are milestone-based, linked to the submission of progress reports and fellowship utilization certificates. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) equivalent to the project duration applies to research output quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring strict adherence to the CVC guidelines.
