Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The recruitment of a Director for IET Lucknow involves high-stakes professional service procurement. Given the strategic nature, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, as per GFR 2017. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required to safeguard against non-performance. A nominal non-refundable tender fee is applicable to cover administrative costs. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly set at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10%, ensuring timely delivery of the recruitment mandate. These parameters ensure financial discipline and accountability, aligning with standard public procurement guidelines for high-value consultancy services while mitigating risks associated with executive search timelines and quality deliverables.

Payments will be linked to specific milestones, such as the submission of the long-list, short-list, and successful onboarding of the candidate. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the recruitment process, ensuring the search firm provides replacement support if the selected candidate resigns within a stipulated timeframe.
