e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain system tokens, ensuring compliance with the IES Authority's specific procurement portal requirements.

A pre-bid clarification meeting will be convened to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, with all amendments issued as formal corrigenda to ensure transparency for all prospective participants.

Participants must submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, followed by a separate commercial BoQ containing the financial quote, ensuring no price disclosure in technical documents.

Upon successful technical evaluation, the financial bids of qualified vendors will be opened on the portal, and the L1 bidder will be identified based on the lowest evaluated price.

Post-financial evaluation and internal approval, the IES Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing and project commencement process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Intern 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 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 project or internship management contract for a government entity or reputed organization 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 under Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, subject to valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the Intern Project requires a meticulous valuation based on the estimated monthly 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 must be submitted by the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a robust Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. This structure ensures financial accountability and protects the IES Authority against potential service delivery failures or timeline slippages throughout the project lifecycle.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled through sole arbitration in the jurisdiction of the IES Authority. Payments will be processed based on milestone-based billing linked to verified deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-project completion ensures service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to maintain transparency and prevent corruption. All deliverables must adhere to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017, ensuring that the IES Authority receives value for money while maintaining strict adherence to public procurement ethics and statutory obligations throughout the tenure.
