Bidders participating in Assistant Grade 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 financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must provide proof of successful execution of at least one similar service contract for government or autonomous institutions within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for Assistant Grade services at IIESTS Authority requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the estimated monthly remuneration and administrative overheads. 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 ensure service continuity. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must be non-refundable. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, subject to a maximum of 10% of the contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, mitigate risks of non-performance, and protect the procuring entity against potential service lapses during the contract period.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules 2017. Any disputes arising shall be resolved through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIESTS campus. Payments will be processed on a milestone or monthly basis upon verification of attendance and service reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) or performance monitoring period applies to ensure service quality. For high-value contracts, an Integrity Pact is mandatory to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. The contractor must maintain strict compliance with all labor laws and safety regulations throughout the tenure of the engagement.
