e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Vendors must register on the GeM portal with a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and verify organizational credentials to obtain the necessary procurement tokens for participating in IIFM tenders.

A mandatory pre-bid clarification meeting will be conducted to address technical queries, scope ambiguities, and eligibility concerns, ensuring all prospective bidders have a uniform understanding of the requirements.

Bidders must submit a two-cover bid comprising a technical proposal detailing methodology and credentials, and a separate financial BoQ, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

Post-technical evaluation, the financial bids of only the technically qualified bidders will be opened on the GeM portal to determine the L1 bidder based on the lowest evaluated price.

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

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in List of the Shortlisted Candidates the Interview 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 two similar recruitment or administrative support projects for government entities or autonomous bodies in the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark	The bidder must possess valid statutory registrations including GSTIN, PAN, EPF, ESI, and a valid Labor License, ensuring full compliance with Indian labor and tax laws.
Statutory Benchmark	MSMEs and Startups are eligible for relaxation in prior turnover and experience criteria as per Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, subject to submission of valid Udyam certificates.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for the list of shortlisted candidates for the interview by IIFM Authority requires a robust commercial framework aligned with GFR 2017. Given the nature of the service, the contract valuation must be determined based on market benchmarks for professional recruitment support. An EMD of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bid earnestness, though MSMEs are exempted per Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) of 3-5% of the contract value is essential to secure performance obligations. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, promoting transparency. The inclusion of a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, capped at 0.5% per week of delay up to a maximum of 10% of the total contract value, serves as a critical financial deterrent against service delivery slippages. These parameters ensure fiscal discipline and protect the procuring entity against potential non-performance or delays in the recruitment process.

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 at the IIFM jurisdiction. Payments shall be released based on defined milestones upon successful verification of deliverables. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to ensure the accuracy of the shortlisted candidate data. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and the prevention of corrupt practices throughout the procurement lifecycle and subsequent service delivery period.
