e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must ensure valid Digital Signature Certificates and register on the GeM portal to obtain necessary procurement tokens for accessing the IIFM Authority tender documents and uploading bid responses.

A mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, with all amendments issued as corrigenda on the official procurement portal.

Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price details are disclosed within the technical documentation package.

The IIFM Authority will evaluate technical bids against predefined criteria, followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive evaluated price.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) will be issued, initiating the contract execution phase and subsequent performance security submission.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in List of Provisionally Eligible Candidates 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 nature project for a government entity or autonomous body within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	Mandatory submission of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF registration, ESI registration, and a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act is required for compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for exemption from EMD and prior turnover/experience requirements under Rule 170 of GFR 2017, subject to submission of valid Udyam or DPIIT registration certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for the provisionally eligible candidates list project must be determined via a detailed cost estimate based on market rates. As per GFR 2017, an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid seriousness, though MSMEs are exempt under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is required from the successful bidder to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM to promote transparency. The contract includes a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5% of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10% of the total contract price. These parameters ensure financial discipline, risk mitigation, and adherence to standard public procurement guidelines while maintaining competitive fairness for all participating vendors.

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 arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue in Bhopal. Payments will be released based on milestone achievements verified by the IIFM Authority. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of twelve months applies to all deliverables. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact must be signed by both parties to ensure transparency and prevent corrupt practices throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring strict adherence to the terms and conditions stipulated in the formal agreement.
