Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Junior Research Fellow (JRF) recruitment under the SERB project for the ICCR Authority necessitates a structured financial framework. Given the specialized nature of academic support services, the estimated contract value must be calculated based on SERB fellowship norms and institutional overheads. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2 percent of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under GFR 2017 Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3 to 5 percent of the contract value is required post-award to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring accountability for project timelines and adherence to SERB project milestones.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in New Delhi. Billing is strictly milestone-based, linked to the successful onboarding of JRFs and project reporting. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the project lifecycle, protecting the interests of the ICCR Authority and the funding agency, SERB.
