e-Procurement Bidding Roadmap & Portal Workflow

Bidders must obtain a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and register on the GeM portal or CPPP to participate in the IIFT tender process, ensuring all organizational credentials are verified.

A pre-bid meeting is conducted to address technical queries and scope clarifications, with minutes and corrigenda published on the portal to ensure transparency and equal opportunity for all prospective bidders.

The two-cover system requires the submission of a technical bid containing eligibility documents and a separate financial bid, ensuring that technical evaluation precedes the opening of commercial price proposals.

Upon successful technical qualification, the financial bids (BoQ) are opened on the portal, and the L1 bidder is identified based on the lowest evaluated cost for the specified scope.

Following the approval of the competent authority at IIFT, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the successful bidder, initiating the contract execution and performance security submission process.

Technical Qualification Matrix & Due Diligence Standards

Bidders participating in The Post of Project Personnel Under 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 percent 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 successfully executing at least three similar projects involving the deployment of project personnel for government or autonomous institutions in 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, 1970, is required for compliance.
Statutory Benchmark	In accordance with Rule 170 of GFR 2017 and the Public Procurement Policy, MSMEs and Startups are eligible for EMD exemption, provided they submit a valid Udyam Registration Certificate.

Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

The contract valuation for project personnel deployment at IIFT must be determined based on the prevailing minimum wage rates, statutory contributions, and administrative overheads. In accordance with GFR 2017, an EMD of 2 percent 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 percent of the contract value is required post-award to mitigate performance risks. Tender document fees are generally waived on GeM, but if applicable, must be non-refundable. The Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly capped at 0.5 percent per week of delay, with a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline and protect the procuring entity against service delivery failures while maintaining alignment with the Public Procurement Policy.

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 arbitration under the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the venue at New Delhi. Payments are structured on milestone-based billing, linked to satisfactory monthly service delivery reports. A Defect Liability Period (DLP) or service warranty period is applicable to ensure quality standards. Furthermore, an Integrity Pact may be mandated for high-value contracts to ensure transparency, anti-corruption measures, and ethical conduct throughout the procurement lifecycle, ensuring that all contractual obligations are met with strict adherence to statutory and institutional norms.

Procurement & Bidding FAQs — The Post of Project Personnel Under

Are Joint Ventures (JV) permitted to participate in this tender?

Unless explicitly stated in the tender document, JVs are generally discouraged for service contracts to ensure clear accountability of the primary service provider.

The EMD Bank Guarantee must be submitted in the standard format prescribed by IIFT, issued by a scheduled commercial bank, and remain valid for 45 days beyond the final bid validity.

What is the standard bid validity period for IIFT tenders?

The standard bid validity period is 90 to 180 days from the date of technical bid opening, during which the bidder cannot withdraw or modify their offer.

Does the contract include a Price Variation Clause (PVC)?

For personnel deployment, PVC is typically limited to statutory revisions in minimum wages, EPF, or ESI rates as notified by the Government of India during the contract period.

How are technical evaluation marks calculated?

Technical evaluation is based on a Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) or Least Cost System (LCS) method, where bidders are scored against predefined criteria like experience, financial strength, and methodology.

Can a bidder submit multiple bids for the same tender?

No, a bidder can submit only one bid. Submission of multiple bids by the same entity will lead to the summary rejection of all such bids.
