e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the entity on the GeM portal using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and Class-3 token to ensure secure authentication for all procurement-related activities and document uploads.

Participate in the pre-bid clarification meeting to resolve technical queries regarding the eligibility list, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the scope and evaluation criteria.

Submit the two-cover bid consisting of the technical proposal, including credentials and compliance documents, and the financial proposal, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

Conduct the commercial BoQ financial opening where the system automatically ranks bidders based on the lowest evaluated price, ensuring transparency and adherence to the L1 selection methodology.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of credentials, triggering the commencement of the contract and the submission of the PBG.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Revised List of Eligible Candidates the MTS Gen must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of executing at least one similar project involving large-scale candidate data processing or recruitment support services for a government or public sector entity.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the MTS recruitment processing services is determined based on the estimated volume of candidates and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs are exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the total contract value must be submitted by the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are waived for GeM-based procurements to promote transparency. The contract incorporates a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10%. These parameters ensure financial accountability, mitigate procurement risks, and align with the fiscal prudence guidelines mandated by the Ministry of Finance for public sector entities.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract is governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Any disputes arising shall be settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in the jurisdiction of the IIB Authority. Payments are structured on milestone-based billing linked to successful deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months is applicable post-completion to ensure data integrity. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandated for high-value contracts to maintain ethical standards, requiring both the IIB Authority and the service provider to commit to transparency and anti-corruption measures throughout the project lifecycle.
