Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IBSD Project Associate-I and Research Associate-I recruitment services necessitates a robust commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the nature of human resource outsourcing, the contract valuation must be estimated based on consolidated monthly emoluments plus applicable service charges. 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 total contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. 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, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the contract value, ensuring accountability in service delivery timelines while adhering to standard public procurement financial discipline.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution shall be conducted through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the IBSD headquarters. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to successful candidate onboarding and monthly attendance verification. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality, ensuring replacement of candidates who resign prematurely. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards throughout the procurement lifecycle, binding both the procuring entity and the service provider to strict conduct.
