e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must register on the CPPP or GeM portal using a valid Class-III Digital Signature Certificate to obtain system credentials and access the encrypted tender documents for the Senior Library post.

Interested parties shall attend the pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, or eligibility concerns, ensuring all participants have a uniform understanding of the IIB Authority requirements.

Bidders must submit a two-cover bid containing the technical proposal with supporting credentials in the first cover and the financial BoQ in the second, ensuring no price disclosure in technical documents.

The IIB Authority will conduct a technical evaluation, followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest evaluated price.

Upon successful financial evaluation and internal approval, the IIB Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission process.

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Senior Library position at IIB Authority must be derived from the approved budgetary estimates, ensuring alignment with GFR 2017 cost-reasonableness standards. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemption 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 non-refundable to cover administrative processing costs. To mitigate project delays, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. These parameters ensure financial discipline, protect the procuring entity against default, and maintain transparency in public spending while adhering to the standard financial protocols mandated for government procurement.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the IIB Authority headquarters. Payments will be processed based on milestone-based deliverables verified by the designated officer-in-charge. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months shall apply to ensure service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, binding both the IIB Authority and the selected service provider to strict professional standards.
