e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Procure a valid Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate and complete mandatory vendor registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to obtain system credentials for participating in the IBM Authority tender process.

Attend the scheduled pre-bid clarification meeting to seek technical and commercial deviations or clarifications, ensuring all queries are submitted within the stipulated timeline to avoid post-bid disqualification or ambiguity.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the Technical Bid, including credentials and compliance documents, and the Financial Bid (BoQ) separately, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

Participate in the technical evaluation process followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders, where the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated price.

Receive the formal Letter of Award (LoA) from the IBM Authority, followed by the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee and the execution of the formal contract agreement.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in List of Shortlisted Candidates an Offline 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 turnover of at least 30 percent 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 one similar project involving candidate shortlisting or data processing services for a government or large corporate entity.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME and Startup entities are eligible for exemptions from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the shortlist generation project must be determined via a detailed market survey to ensure cost-reasonableness. In alignment with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent 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 percent of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent of the contract price per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate procurement risks, and protect the IBM Authority against potential non-performance or delays in the delivery of the candidate list.

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. Milestone-based billing will be implemented, linked to the successful submission of candidate lists. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months will apply to ensure data accuracy. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and ethical conduct. All payments are subject to statutory deductions, including TDS and GST compliance verification. The contractor must maintain strict confidentiality regarding candidate data, adhering to the Information Technology Act and relevant data privacy standards.
