Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the IGNCA Director recruitment consultancy requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on market benchmarks for executive search services. 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) of 3-5% of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must be 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 contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, risk mitigation, and adherence to standard public procurement financial discipline while maintaining transparency throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in New Delhi. Billing will follow a milestone-based approach linked to successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months post-recruitment will apply to ensure candidate retention. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the recruitment process. All deliverables must strictly adhere to the scope defined in the RFP, with non-compliance triggering penalty clauses and potential contract termination.
