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 prevailing DST/DBT fellowship norms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service continuity and compliance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM to encourage competition. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for service delivery timelines. Financial bids must be submitted via the BoQ template, ensuring transparency and adherence to the lowest cost (L1) evaluation methodology.

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 IBSD headquarters. Billing shall be milestone-based, linked to the successful verification of monthly fellowship disbursements and candidate attendance. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to administrative errors in payroll processing. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value tenders to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service providers must strictly adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 regarding financial propriety, ensuring that all statutory deductions and payments are processed in compliance with prevailing labor laws.
