e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the procuring entity and bidders on the GeM portal using valid DSC tokens to ensure authentication and compliance with the Public Procurement Policy for the recruitment project.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments to the tender document before the final submission deadline.

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

Perform the commercial BoQ financial opening for technically qualified bidders, evaluating the lowest responsive bid (L1) while adhering to the cost-benefit analysis prescribed under GFR 2017 guidelines.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of the PBG and signing of the contract agreement to initiate the recruitment process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Recruitment of Research Scholar in Se 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 financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar recruitment or human resource management project for a government or autonomous body within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI registration certificates, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act to ensure statutory compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for relaxation in prior turnover and experience criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam or DPIIT certification.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the recruitment of Research Scholars must be determined based on the total fellowship/stipend and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (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) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline and protect the IES Authority against non-performance, ensuring that the recruitment process remains cost-effective and compliant with standard public procurement financial protocols.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution will be handled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the IES Authority. Payments will be processed based on milestone billing linked to the successful onboarding of researchers. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact must be signed to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All contract modifications must be documented through formal addendums, ensuring adherence to the original scope of work and financial ceilings.
