e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain authorized access for participating in the ICFRE Authority tender process.

Attend the mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the SERB project requirements.

Submit the two-cover bid comprising the technical proposal, including credentials and project methodology, and the financial BoQ, ensuring all documents are digitally signed and uploaded before the deadline.

The ICFRE procurement committee conducts the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price for the internship services.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee within the stipulated timeframe.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Internship Position Serb Project 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 financial 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 agency must provide proof of successful execution of at least one similar research-oriented project or internship management contract for a Central or State Government institution in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations, along with a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with statutory labor laws and tax regulations.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and recognized Startups are eligible for relaxation in prior turnover and experience criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Small Enterprises.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the SERB Project internship position requires a rigorous financial assessment based on GFR 2017 guidelines. Given the nature of academic research support, the contract valuation must align with DST/SERB fellowship norms. 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% is required to secure the ICFRE Authority 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% of the contract value per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10%. This structure ensures financial accountability while maintaining compliance with public procurement transparency standards, protecting the interests of the ICFRE Authority throughout the project lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for dispute resolution. Billing is structured on a milestone basis linked to the successful submission of internship progress reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the quality of deliverables. An Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All financial transactions and service delivery timelines are subject to audit by the ICFRE Authority to ensure strict adherence to the terms and conditions stipulated in the final agreement.
