e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

Register the procuring entity on the CPPP portal or GeM 4.0, ensuring digital signature certificates are active for all authorized signatories to facilitate secure electronic tender publication and document hosting.

2

Conduct a mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting to address technical queries from prospective recruitment agencies, ensuring all amendments are published as corrigenda to maintain transparency and fair competitive bidding standards.

3

Implement a two-cover system where bidders submit technical credentials and financial BoQ separately, ensuring the technical evaluation committee reviews capabilities before accessing the financial bids of qualified participants.

4

Execute the commercial BoQ financial opening process for technically qualified bidders, identifying the L1 agency based on the lowest evaluated price while ensuring compliance with all institutional financial norms.

5

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder, stipulating the acceptance of terms, submission of PBG, and signing of the formal contract agreement to commence services.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIESTS Director Recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the specialized nature of executive search, the contract valuation must be estimated based on market benchmarks for headhunting premium academic leadership. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. The Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) is set at 5% of the contract value, valid until 60 days beyond the completion of the recruitment cycle. Tender document fees are waived as per current GeM/CPPP guidelines to encourage wider participation. Liquidated Damages (LD) are strictly enforced at 0.5% per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of the shortlist. Financial bids must be submitted via BoQ, ensuring transparency and adherence to cost-plus or fixed-fee models as per institutional financial delegation.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract shall be governed by the General Financial Rules 2017. All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the IIESTS campus. Billing shall follow milestone-based payments tied to the submission of long-lists, short-lists, and final candidate selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the recruitment process, ensuring the agency provides replacement support if a selected candidate resigns prematurely. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and uphold ethical standards throughout the procurement lifecycle.
