Evaluation BenchmarkMandated Technical & Financial Covenant
Statutory Benchmark Average annual financial turnover of the bidder must be at least 30% of the estimated contract value during the last three consecutive financial years, supported by audited balance sheets.
Statutory Benchmark Submission of at least two similar project completion certificates or work orders for recruitment services provided to Central or State Government institutions within the last five years.
Statutory Benchmark Mandatory possession of valid GSTIN, PAN, EPF, and ESI registrations, along with a valid Labor License under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The procurement for IIFM deputation-based recruitment services requires a robust financial framework aligned with GFR 2017. The contract valuation must be determined based on the projected administrative overheads and recruitment volume. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of 2% of the estimated value is mandatory to ensure bidder seriousness, though MSMEs may be exempted under Rule 170. A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3% to 5% of the contract value is essential to secure performance obligations throughout the tenure. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if offline, they must 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 contract value. These parameters ensure financial accountability and protect the procuring entity against potential service failures or delays in the recruitment lifecycle.

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. Billing shall follow a milestone-based approach 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. The contractor must maintain strict confidentiality regarding IIFM personnel data, ensuring compliance with prevailing data protection laws and statutory labor regulations throughout the service tenure.
