Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for the Director recruitment services at IHM Bhopal requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be estimated 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 safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. The inclusion of a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, capped at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, is essential to mitigate risks associated with recruitment timelines and ensure adherence to the service level agreement.

A Defect Liability Period (DLP) will apply to the quality of candidate screening. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle. All deliverables must comply with the specific terms outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the overarching GeM service level agreements.
