e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to ensure secure access and authentication for all procurement-related activities and document uploads.

Participate in the pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries regarding the scope of SRF recruitment, ensuring all potential bidders have a uniform understanding of the project requirements.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of a technical proposal detailing recruitment methodology and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring all mandatory documents are uploaded before the specified deadline.

The procurement committee conducts the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price in accordance with GFR 2017.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the subsequent mobilization of resources for the DST-funded project recruitment.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Srf Recruitment a Dst Funded Pr 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% 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 executing at least one similar project or recruitment-related service for a government or autonomous research institution within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full statutory compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the DST-funded SRF recruitment project under ICFRE requires a meticulous financial structure aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be based on current DST guidelines for research personnel emoluments. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain 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 total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks for the ICFRE authority, and maintain transparency throughout the lifecycle of the research project recruitment process.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be strictly handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue designated at the ICFRE headquarters. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful recruitment phases. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices, ensuring that all actions taken during the execution of the DST-funded project remain compliant with the highest ethical standards of public procurement.
