e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must register on the GeM portal or CPPP using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to obtain necessary authentication tokens for participating in the IIESTS procurement process.

A mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the project requirements.

Bidders must submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical documentation package.

Following technical evaluation, the financial bids of only the technically qualified bidders will be opened on the portal to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest quoted price.

The IIESTS Authority will issue a formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, initiating the contract signing process and the subsequent submission of the Performance Bank Guarantee.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in Assistant Grade Seniority 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 successful execution of at least one similar project or consultancy assignment related to administrative seniority or data management within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License is required to ensure full compliance with statutory Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy for MSEs, registered MSMEs and Startups are exempted from EMD requirements upon submission of valid Udyam registration.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the Assistant Grade Seniority project at IIESTS must be determined through a detailed market survey and cost estimation process. As per GFR 2017, 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 total contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against performance failure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract must incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract price per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to the project schedule by the selected service provider.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the IIESTS campus. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements verified by the competent authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months is applicable to ensure service quality. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by the bidder to maintain transparency and prevent corrupt practices throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that all procurement activities remain compliant with the CVC guidelines and institutional mandates.
