e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Register the IIFT Authority entity on the GeM 4.0 portal, obtain necessary digital signature certificates (DSC), and publish the tender notice with comprehensive scope of work and technical specifications.

Conduct a pre-bid clarification meeting to address vendor queries regarding recruitment methodology, evaluation criteria, and service level agreements, ensuring transparency and competitive participation from all interested service providers.

Initiate a two-cover bidding process where bidders submit technical credentials and financial proposals separately, ensuring that technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial bids to maintain quality standards.

Open the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders only, conducting a comparative analysis to identify the L1 bidder while ensuring the rates are reasonable and aligned with market benchmarks.

Issue the formal Letter of Award (LoA) to the successful bidder upon successful verification of performance security and signing of the contract agreement, marking the commencement of the project.

A Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total contract value is required from the successful bidder to safeguard against non-performance. Tender document fees, if applicable, must be non-refundable and processed via the GeM portal. The contract shall incorporate a stringent Liquidated Damages (LD) clause, stipulating a deduction of 0.5 percent of the contract value per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value, ensuring timely delivery of the recruitment process and candidate list finalization.

All disputes arising shall be settled through the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at the IIFT jurisdiction. Payments shall be released based on milestone achievements, specifically upon the submission of the verified candidate list. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) of six months applies to the accuracy of the recruitment data. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact is mandatory for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and maintain ethical standards throughout the procurement lifecycle, binding both the IIFT Authority and the service provider to strict conduct codes.
