e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

1

The bidder must complete registration on the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) or GeM 4.0 using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to access the tender documents and upload bid responses.

2

A mandatory pre-bid meeting will be conducted to address technical queries and scope clarifications, with all amendments issued as corrigenda on the portal to ensure transparency for all prospective bidders.

3

Bidders shall submit a two-cover system: Cover-1 containing technical credentials, experience, and statutory documents, and Cover-2 containing the financial BoQ, ensuring no price disclosure occurs within the technical bid document.

4

The technical committee evaluates submissions against pre-qualification criteria. Only technically qualified bidders proceed to the commercial opening, where the BoQ is decrypted and evaluated to determine the Lowest Evaluated Bidder.

5

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

Statutory Benchmark The bidder must provide proof of successfully executing at least three similar executive search or recruitment projects for premier academic or government institutions within the last five years.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIESTS Director recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The estimated contract value must be derived from market benchmarking for executive search firms. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs may seek exemptions under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to ensure service delivery standards. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they remain non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5% per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total contract value. This structure ensures financial accountability, mitigates risk for the institute, and maintains compliance with public procurement norms for high-value professional services.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

The contract adheres to the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. Dispute resolution shall be governed by the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue fixed at the institute's location. Billing is structured against defined milestones, such as the submission of the long-list, short-list, and final selection. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) applies to the quality of candidates provided. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption compliance, and ethical conduct throughout the recruitment lifecycle, protecting the institute's interests and ensuring adherence to statutory recruitment guidelines.
