e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must ensure valid DSC and registration on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate, ensuring all organizational profiles and mandatory digital credentials are updated for seamless document submission.

A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be conducted by IIESTS to address technical queries, clarify scope of work, and incorporate necessary amendments into the tender document via formal corrigendum.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system: Cover-I containing technical credentials, experience certificates, and statutory compliance documents, and Cover-II containing the financial BoQ, ensuring no price disclosure in technical bids.

The technical evaluation committee will scrutinize bids against eligibility criteria. Post-qualification, the financial BoQ of technically responsive bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the L1 vendor.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, the Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued, formalizing the contract and initiating the performance security submission process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Assistant Grade Promotion Etc must satisfy the multi-tiered technical, financial, and statutory qualifying covenants detailed below:

Evaluation Benchmark	Mandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark	Average Annual Financial Turnover of the bidder during the last three financial years, ending 31st March of the previous financial year, should be at least 30% of the estimated contract value.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must have successfully completed similar nature of work during the last seven years, evidenced by submission of at least one, two, or three similar completed work orders.
Statutory Benchmark	Bidders must possess valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations, along with a valid Labor License as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, to ensure statutory compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	MSME units and Startups are eligible for relaxation in prior experience and turnover requirements as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017, provided they submit valid Udyam Registration or DPIIT certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Assistant Grade Promotion services by IIESTS Authority requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined via a detailed cost estimate. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted per Rule 170. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value, valid until 60 days beyond the contract completion date. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5% of the contract price per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total value. These parameters ensure financial accountability, protect the procuring entity against non-performance, and maintain fiscal discipline throughout the service delivery 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 settled through arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIESTS campus. Payments will be processed based on milestone-based deliverables verified by the designated project officer. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of 12 months applies to ensure service quality post-implementation. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All statutory deductions including TDS and GST shall be withheld as per prevailing government notifications and tax laws.
