Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees
The procurement for IIESTS N/A Recruitment requires a rigorous financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the estimated volume of recruitment services. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, unless exempted under Rule 170 for MSMEs. Upon selection, the successful bidder must furnish a Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, they remain non-refundable. The contract will incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of recruitment milestones and service level agreement adherence.
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 the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIESTS campus. Billing will be milestone-based, linked to successful candidate onboarding. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to recruitment quality. An Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices. All service providers must adhere to statutory labor laws, and failure to maintain compliance will result in immediate contract termination and forfeiture of the Performance Bank Guarantee.
