Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the Director recruitment services at IHM Bhopal requires a meticulous financial structure aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on market benchmarks for executive search firms. 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 from the successful bidder 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 capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and mitigate risks associated with high-stakes executive recruitment, ensuring the procuring entity remains protected against non-performance or delays.
General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance
The contract shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with disputes settled in Bhopal jurisdiction. Payments will be structured against specific recruitment milestones, such as candidate shortlisting and final appointment. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the recruitment process, ensuring the agency provides replacements if a selected candidate resigns within a specified timeframe. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service delivery must adhere to the General Conditions of Contract (GCC) as prescribed by the Ministry of Finance, ensuring that the agency maintains strict confidentiality regarding candidate data and institutional strategy throughout the engagement.
